One fact about the Long Island Ice Tea: It’s not tea. You will not find a single drop of tea on this amazing cocktail. The Long Island Iced Tea is a cherished drink that’s been around since the 1970s. It could have come from Prohibition when people wanted to mix their own alcohol with something sweet and refreshing.
