History
Many believe that the Long Island Iced Tea cocktail was created in the 1970s by Robert Butt (alias Rosebug) who was a bartender at the "Oak Beach Inn" in Hampton Bays (Long Island, USA ) but it seems to be a false rumor.
Indeed in the 60s the recipe already appears in several books, but unfortunately nothing indicates who is really at the origin of this cocktail.
