The origins of the Electric Long Island Iced Tea can be traced back to the traditional Long Island Iced Tea, which was created in the 1970s by bartender Robert "Rosebud" Butt at the Oak Beach Inn in Babylon, New York. The original recipe calls for equal parts vodka, rum, tequila, gin, triple sec, sour mix, and a splash of cola. Despite its name, this potent concoction contains no actual tea but gets its name from its resemblance to iced tea.
To make an Electric Long Island Iced Tea cocktail, you'll need all the same ingredients as a traditional Long Island Iced Tea plus blue curaçao liqueur. Blue curaçao gives this drink its signature electric blue color and adds a hint of orange flavor to complement the other spirits.

1. Fill a shaker with ice.
2. Add 1/2 oz each of vodka, rum, tequila, gin,
triple sec.
3. Pour in 1 oz sour mix.
