I believe that does it
Alcoholic beverage. It looks like tea, but it doesn't taste like it (in my opinion).
That was the drink of choice for me one night at a club. I was depressed because my roomate had a girlfriend and I didn't, so I ordered 3 consecutive Long Islands, chugged all three, and woke up at my doorstep the next morning with dry saliva all around my mouth and a bit of barf on the blanket someone put over me.
It's a bunch of liquors mixed with coke has nothing to do or taste like tea. IT's strong too
It's so named "iced tea" because it should be the approximate colour of iced tea when you mix it. It's delicious.
The Long Island Iced Tea (LIIT) is the basis of many elaborate mixed-drinks. It dates to the 70's, named after the USA's largest island, Long Island, in New York. Although it doesn't contain tea, it's taste is similar. The drink sits in the top 5 of most popular cocktails and is regularly mentioned or seen served in television and films (worthy mentions are The Simpsons, Sex and the City and Cruel Intentions).
1 part vodka
1 part tequila
1 part rum

Mix ingredients together over ice in a glass. Pour into a shaker and give one brisk shake. Pour back into the glass and make sure there is a touch of fizz at the top. Garnish with lemon.
