Iced Tea is a chilled, brewed tea that is often sweetened and flavored with lemon or other fruits. In the context of alcohol and cocktails, iced tea serves as a refreshing and versatile mixer. It is a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Long Island Iced Tea, where it adds a smooth, tea flavor that complements the blend of spirits. Iced tea can be used with various spirits, including vodka, rum, and bourbon, and pairs well with citrus, herbs, and other fruit flavors. Its light, refreshing taste makes it a popular choice for summer cocktails and refreshing mixed drinks.
