Origins of Iced Tea Cocktail
The origins of iced tea cocktail can be traced back to the United States in the late 19th century. While traditional iced tea has been enjoyed for centuries, mixing it with alcohol became popular during Prohibition when people were looking for creative ways to mask the taste of bootlegged liquor.
One popular variation is the Long Island Iced Tea, which despite its name does not contain any actual tea. Instead, it is made from a mix of vodka, rum, gin, tequila, triple sec, sour mix or lemon juice topped off with cola. The result is a potent yet surprisingly smooth cocktail that packs quite a punch.
