The world famous Long Island Iced Tea was first invented in 1972 by me, Robert Butt, while I was tending bar at the infamous Oak Beach Inn. Nicknamed "Rosebud" by OBI owner Bob Matherson, I participated in a Cocktail creating contest. Triple Sec had to be included, and the bottles started flying. My concoction was an immediate hit and quickly became the house drink at the OBI. By the mid-1970's, every bar on LI was serving up this innocent looking cocktail, and by the 1980's it was known the world over. Though it looks like the Iced Tea your Mom serves on a summer day, it is actually a combination of 5 different alcohols, with a splash of Coke. Mention Long Island Iced Tea at a party, and almost everyone has a story to tell....
