Long Island Iced Tea

Menu-formatted mixed drink

A Long Island Iced Tea is a cocktail combining vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and triple sec with sour mix and a splash of cola, which gives it the appearance of iced tea despite containing no tea.

The drink is notoriously strong—essentially five shots masked by sweetness: I had one Long Island Iced Tea and couldn't drive home.
