Long Island Iced Tea

Long Island Iced Tea is a cocktail that combines vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and triple sec, along with lemon juice, syrup, and a splash of cola. Despite its name, it contains no actual tea—the drink’s appearance resembles iced tea, which inspired its name. With a high alcohol content and a surprisingly smooth and sweet flavor, it’s known as a cocktail that can sneak up on you.

1. 1. Add vodka, gin, rum, tequila, Cointreau, lemon juice, and syrup into a shaker with ice. Shake well.
2. 2. Strain into an ice-filled highball glass.
3. 3. Top with cola and garnish with a lemon slice.
