If you've landed on this page, it's fair to say you're pretty brave. Long Island Iced Teas are as dangerous as they are delicious! Spoiler alert: there's no actual tea in this cocktail. There's no room, as it's it's packed full of booze instead.

During America's Prohibition era, when a constitutional amendment banned the sale, consumption, and production of alcoholic drinks, the resourceful Americans tried their hands at cocktail-crafting. The name actually refers to the look and colour of the finished cocktail. The rest of the story is a bit hazy, and we're not surprised. After one or two Long Island Iced Teas, you likely won’t remember the drink’s origin story anyway.
