The Long Island iced tea is a potent, sweet drink made with vodka, tequila, rum, gin, triple sec, sour mix and a splash of cola. It does not contain any tea, though it does look like it. Robert “Rosebud” Butt claims to have invented this cocktail as part of a contest to create the best new mixed drink using triple sec in 1972. The name was of course inspired by Long Island, New York, where Butt tended bar at a now-defunct nightclub called Oak Beach Inn.
