This is a Glass of Trouble | How to Drink

Today I tackle the Long Island Iced Tea, or maybe it tackles me?

**********************************

This week I tackle the legendary Long Island Iced Tea! Created in the 70's by bartender Bob Rosebud Butt for a cocktail contest hosted by Oak Beach Inn. The version I'm presenting here is slightly rebalanced by Jeffrey Morgenthaler but goes down just as easy as the original. And that's kinda of the point with this drink, it's a basically unoffensive way to put a lot of high proof spirits passed your lips.

Long Island Iced Tea

.75 oz. -or- 22 ml. Lemon JUice
.5 oz. -or- 15 ml. gin
.5 oz. -or- 15 ml. rum
.5 oz. -or- 15 ml. tequila
.5 oz. -or- 15 ml. vodka
.5 oz. -or- 15 ml. Dry Curaçao / triple sec
.25 oz. -or- 8 ml. simple syrup
shake & pour
.75 oz. -or- 22 ml. Coca Cola
Garnish with lemon twist

Why Long Island Iced Tea is SO POPULAR #shorts

Why Long Island Iced Tea is so delicious and dangerous
It has a reputation as a drink for someone who wants to get drunk fast.
LIIT invented by Robert Rosebud Butt is made of high-proof spirits mixed with a sour mix and coke. It is supposed to hide the taste of the alcohol.
Usually, cheap bottom shelf ingredients are used
But if you make it properly with high-end liquor and fresh juice, a Long Island Iced Tea is still a strong drink, but it will give you a different drinking experience.

Shaker
Cointreau 1/2 oz | 15 ml
Aged Rum 1/2 oz | 15 ml

Long Island Iced Tea Recipe | Booze On The Rocks

Today on Booze On The Rocks we show you how to make the Long Island Iced Tea. However, this cocktail originated in the 1920's during prohibition and was called the Old Man Bishop, created by Charles Old Man Bishop in Long Island, Kingsport, Tennessee. His son refined it in the 1940s, making it closer to the well-known Long Island Iced Tea recipe that we know today. This recipe was featured in Betty Crocker's cookbook in 1961. However, ten years later, Bob Rosebud Butt claims to have created it for a cocktail competition for Triple Sec at the Oak Beach Inn on Long Island. This is an equal parts cocktail based on The Last Word and the Final Ward. It is well balanced and so easy to drink. Try it out, and let me know what you think.

Top 5 Long Island Iced Tea Cocktails - Easy Cocktails

The Long Island: One of The Most popular cocktails in History!

Note on this video: I mention that Cointreau is made from a Neutral grain spirit macerated with oranges but that's not totally true, Cointreau is made from a neutral spirit made from Sugar Beets and I knew that, i think I made the flub because I'm usually talking about Whiskey LOL!

The Long Island Iced Tea is the Rodney Dangerfield of cocktails, it don't get no respect! But if you see it for what it really is, you'll see that it's simply a sour template where the main spirit is split into four with a little dry Cointreau to temper the sweet. Now given that we're in a time when cocktails are thought of in a more culinary way and there's a lot of innovation going on it's easy to see why this drink get's lost in the shuffle, it really isn't very balanced and it is a lot of sweet on sweet on sweet. That said, it is somewhat of a guilty pleasure, it is a household name that is called often, will continue to be called in bars today, Highball drinks are back in fashion and therefore worth our consideration. If you are working in a bar today (and really even if you're not) you may as well know how to make a Long Island Iced Tea, and if you're going to learn that, you may as well learn all the major variations too. There are easily another five variations on this drink, using the same template and changing the modifier and the lengthener.

The Long Island came into being the way a lot of cocktails do: A company wanted to sell a product so created a competition for bartenders to push the product. In this case it was Triple Sec and the guy who entered the competition was a bartender named Robert Rosebud Butt who worked at the Oak Beach Inn on Long Island, NY around 1972. There is a somewhat similar drink which claims to be the genesis of the Long Island created during Prohibition by a guy known as Old Man Bishop in a community called Long Island in Kingsport Tennessee. The drink is said to have been perfected by Ransom Bishop (Old Man Bishop's Son) and it consisted of various amounts of the major four liquors with the addition of Whiskey and Maple Syrup. I don't have the specs on this one, just the story which seems unlikely as it wouldn't have been created in the 1920's, lay dormant for 50 years then all of a sudden spike in popularity. But I guess it could have provided inspiration to Mr. Butt if he;'d known about it. All of this is just conjecture, there's really no way to know!
