A Long Island Iced Tea is a drink with an extremely high alcoholic content. Applebee's says its cocktail is made with a combination of five spirits; rum, vodka, gin, tequila and triple sec poured over ice with sweet and sour mix that is topped of with a splash of cola. By some estimates, one Long Island can be up to 22 percent alcohol by volume.
