Long Island Iced Tea recipe
???? Check out my top 20 tips for making better drinks at home:
Surprising to some, the Long Island Iced Tea doesn't actually contain tea. Most likely named for it's tea-like appearance - this also hints to the drinks origins during prohibition when some drinks were made to look like tea.
During US prohibition in the 1920s there was a drink being concocted called the Old Man Bishop - created by Charles “Old Man” Bishop. This was in a small community called Long Island in Kingsport, Tennessee.
Legend has it that Bishop threw together his drink using rum, vodka, gin, tequila, whiskey instead of triple sec and also had the addition of maple syrup. His son later refined it in the 1940s making it closer to the well known Long Island Iced Tea recipe that we know today. It was this recipe that was featured in a Betty Crocker’s cookbook in 1961.
Another 10 or more years later we have another person that claims to be the creator of the Long Island Iced Tea, Bob “Rosebud” Butt. He claims to have created it for a cocktail competition for Triple Sec at the Oak Beach Inn on Long Island in the 1970s. His recipe closely reflects the recipe that most of us know today.
Originally the drink was most likely built over ice but a quick shake to combine the ingredients will do it justice. Rosebud's recipe calls for equal and full measures of each ingredient but I advise opting for 15mL/22.5mL (0.5 oz / 0.75 oz) measurements if you plan on remembering your night.

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!
