Description:
The Long Island Iced Tea is the mullet of cocktails: business in the front, absolute rager in the back. It looks like sweet tea your grandma might sip on a porch swing, but five sips in and you’re dancing like Uncle Larry at a wedding... shirt untucked, confidence dialed to 11. This drink is basically the Avengers of liquor - vodka, rum, gin, tequila, and triple sec all teaming up, with just enough cola to make you think it’s harmless. Spoiler alert: it’s not. Order one, and you’re not just drinking… you’re RSVP’ing to a story you’ll be telling tomorrow morning over greasy diner eggs.
