History
The Long Island Iced Tea is one of the strongest classic cocktails, invented in the 1970s in Long Island, New York. Robert "Rosebud" Butt created it during a competition to develop a cocktail using Triple Sec. The genius: although it contains no tea, the drink looks deceptively authentic and tastes surprisingly mild, despite five different spirits.
Taste Experience
