Fun Facts - Long Island Iced Tea

Long Island Iced Tea, a classic cocktail loved by many, hated by others... holds a few hidden gems that are often unknown to the majority. 


  • Origin mystery: Despite its name, Long Island Iced Tea was not born in the region it's named after. Surprisingly, this popular drink was created in the 1970s by a bartender named Robert "Rosebud" Butt, of Oak Beach Inn in Long Island, Tennessee. The reason behind the naming choice remains a mystery, leaving us to ponder this delightful geographical misnomer.
  • Zero iced tea: Believe it or not, Long Island Iced Tea does not contain any actual iced tea in its recipe. The main ingredients include vodka, tequila, rum, gin, triple sec, lemon juice, and a splash of cola. Despite its misleading name, this cocktail packs quite the punch with its variety of spirits, providing a potent blend that is both delicious and deceiving.
  • Prohibition connection: Long Island Iced Tea's unique blend of spirits may have been a clever way to recreate multiple drinks at once during the Prohibition era. By combining various liquors, bartenders could craft a disguised beverage that appeared as innocent iced tea. This creative solution allowed individuals to enjoy a variety of flavors in a single glass while keeping their true intentions hidden. These intriguing tidbits shed light on the intricate history and composition of Long Island Iced Tea, proving that there's always more to discover behind even the most familiar of cocktails.

Super Bowl Party Hacks

  • Pre-Game Prep: Mix batches of your cocktails before kickoff, so you're not stuck mixing drinks instead of watching the game. Serve in large dispensers or pitchers for easy self-service. Here are some fun recipies to try.
  • DIY Drink Stations: Set up a DIY drink station with labeled ingredients for a Touchdown Tea or Halftime Show Margarita. Include instructions to let guests have fun making their own concoctions.
  • Themed Ice Cubes: Freeze team-colored ice cubes using food coloring or fruit juices. They're perfect for adding a pop of color to clear or lightly colored drinks.
  • Cocktail Flags:Create mini flags representing the competing teams to garnish the drinks - or food. They're fun, festive, and can help guests show their team spirit.
  • End Zone Endings: Cap off the night with the End Zone Espresso Martini, ensuring your guests are awake for the post-game analysis.

💡 Answer to Trivia Question:

The Margarita, as it is estimated that approximately 185,000 Margaritas are consumed during the Super Bowl each year!

If you choose to watch the "big game" or not I hope you have an incredible weekend.


Cheers!
