About this listen

We're spilling the tea- literally as we dive into the messy origin story of the Long Island Iced Tea, as we discover how one of the most Notorious cocktails ever earned it's legendary status behind the bar.

In Episode 4 we're mixing up a strong one (just don't be cringe and actually order a Strong Island). Join us as we sit down with the always entertaining Lori Aleckson as we strain out the twisted, boozy history of a drink that has is as infamous as it is misunderstood.

From it's Prohibition origin and a regional rivalry to how it became a staple on dive bars and clubs across the country. This episode is packed with facts, folklore, and first-hand tales you will only find here.

We also talk about:

  • Popular variations of the drink
  • The 2 most popular claims to where the drink originated
  • The Sweet Tea effect

Grab your bar rag- this episode gets messy (in the best way)
