Strong Classic

El Radioactive Long Island Iced Tea es una versión del clásico Long Island Iced Tea con elementos intensos y explosivos añadidos, como si fuera material radiactivo. Lleno de varios licores, presume de un alto contenido alcohólico y, como indica su nombre, hay que beberlo con cuidado.

History & Origins

Radioactive Long Island Iced Tea is a modern American variation of the classic Long Island Iced Tea, itself a cocktail of disputed origin variously credited to Robert Butt in New York or to Tennessee's Long Island community during Prohibition. The amplified recipe with additional liqueurs emerged in the American bar culture of the 1990s and 2000s as a more extreme, colourful, and flavourful version of the potent original. No single creator is definitively credited.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: A complex blend of rum, melon from the Midori, raspberry from the Chambord, and coconut from the Malibu, with an intense spirit warmth throughout. Palate: Sweet and fruit-forward with multiple liqueur flavours — melon, raspberry, coconut — layered over the standard Long Island base of four spirits and triple sec, creating a very sweet yet highly alcoholic experience. Finish: Sweet, fruity, and powerfully warming with a very long spirit finish.

Pro Tip

Sip very slowly over a large amount of ice as this drink contains eight measures of spirit and has a deceptively sweet, drinkable character that masks a very high alcohol content.
