Break the ice at your next cocktail party with this iconic summertime classic. For a fruitier variation, use cranberry juice instead of cola, and serve Long Beach Iced Teas.

More About This Recipe

  • What’s in a Long Island Iced Tea? Well, it’s definitely not tea, but this classic cocktail IS a pretty potent brew. Vodka, tequila, gin, rum and tequila do the heavy lifting, and a splash of cola at the end adds just enough color to look like regular iced tea. This drink has a reputation for being dangerously/hilariously strong—somehow all those different kinds of alcohol kind of cancel each other out, flavor-wise, and the resulting cocktail is supremely drinkable. Perfect for any of the after-5 p.m. "tea parties" on your calendar.
