Long Island iced tea
This legendary and potent highball cocktail surprisingly tastes like a refreshing citrus iced tea despite its diverse mix of spirits. It is a classic party favorite best enjoyed during lively evening gatherings. For the best balance, always use plenty of fresh ice and freshly squeezed lemon juice to soften the strong alcoholic base.
