Jan 11, 2019 Christy Murphy Entertainment Comments Off on A Quick Look at the History and Popularity of the Long Island Iced Tea
While not necessarily a “classic” cocktail in the truest definition of the term, the Long Island Iced Tea has certainly earned a classic-esque status in the world of mixed drinks.

The first origin story says that a man named Robert “Rosebud” Butt claims he invented the drink as a potential entry in a contest to create a new drink that would include Triple Sec. This was in 1972, when Butt worked at the Oak Beach Inn, on Long Island.

This drink consisted of the base liquors (vodka, gin, rum, and tequila) as well as whiskey and maple syrup.
