"If anyone is wondering, Long Island Iced Tea was created in the 70s by a bartender we called Rosebud (real name Robert Butt). He served it at the Oak Beach Inn in Hampton Bays, L.I. It was presented over ice in a tall slender iced tea glass with a twisted lemon peel and a straw. Rosebud always made sure it was fizzing when he served it. I remember having two there one night in 1974, and almost falling off the stool."
"An ounce of rum, an ounce of gin, an ounce of vodka, an ounce of tequila, a half-ounce of triple sec, a dash of lemon juice and a splash of Coke."
"Rosebud used Jamaican Rum. Never use white rum, as the rum is what gives the drink its color."

Variations on the Long Island Iced Tea
Texas Iced Tea
"I definitely served L.I.I.T.'s (and drank them) in Houston in the summer of 1980. At our restaurant we called them Texas Iced Tea, but when identifying them to customers we said they were our version of L.I.I.T. Ours was actually served in one of them big ole plastic iced tea glasses with fluting 2/3rds of the way up the glass and a smooth finish the rest of the way. It must have been a 20 oz. glass, with 10 ozs. of L.I.I.T. At lunch we had happy hour, 2 for 1. People would order L.I.I.T. and get 2 of those monsters. I don't know how they managed to walk out of the place, much less go back to work."

Other Variations
Long Beach Iced Tea: Simply a Long Island with cranberry juice instead of Coca-Cola. Named after the city of Long Beach, NY, (not Long Beach, CA, as many believe) which is on Long Island, and is where the drink was invented.
Adios Motherfucker: Also known as a "Code Blue" or "Blue Fucker" due to its azure hue, this concoction is topped with Sprite instead of Coca-Cola and utilizes blue curacao instead of triple sec.
Tokyo Tea: This libation uses the same liquors as the original Long Island, but is crowned with one-half to one full ounce of Midori instead of Coca-Cola. Also referred to as a "Three Mile Island."
California Iced Tea: Calls for Amaretto in place of tequila and triple sec and topped with equal parts cranberry and pineapple juices.
Hawaiian Iced Tea: Shuns tequila and triple sec in favor of a full ounce of Chambord, and is topped with Sprite instead of Coca-Cola.
Miami Iced Tea: Reflecting the tropical setting of its name, this fruitier tea shuns triple sec and tequila in favor of Midori and peach schnapps, and is topped with orange juice instead of Coca-Cola.
Caribbean Iced Tea: This recipe utilizes a full ounce of dark jamaican rum, usually Myer's, in place of tequila and vodka. Like the Long Island, it is topped with Coca-Cola.
Super Special LIT: Apart from the usual Gin, Vodka, Rum, Tequila, triple sec etc, it also includes a shot of Whiskey. The triple sec can also be substituted with Archer's Peach Schnapps.
Georgia Iced Tea: This drink calls for sweet tea and sugar in place of Coke, which is ironic since Coca Cola is headquartered in Atlanta.
