The Blue Long Island Iced Tea is a bold, crowd-pleasing variation on the classic Long Island that replaces cola with Blue Curaçao and lemon-lime soda, transforming the cocktail's signature amber color into a vibrant electric blue. Like the original, it contains four base spirits — vodka, gin, rum, and tequila — which makes it considerably stronger than it tastes. The Blue Curaçao adds orange sweetness in place of triple sec, and the cola is swapped for a splash of fizzy soda, keeping it lighter and brighter. A perennial favorite at bars where flashy drinks are appreciated, it is as fun to look at as it is dangerous to underestimate.
