Long Island Iced Tea

The quick reply she gets is: "It's from Long Island". If such a collection is packaged in a box, it is known as a box set. In the movie Cruel Intentions, the innocent girl Cecile Caldwell is drinking what she thinks is regular iced tea, and says: "This doesn't taste like iced tea". Returning to the older meaning of the term, there are now albums of compact discs: collections of CDs in a single package. Marge Simpson, in an episode of The Simpsons, once quipped, "I'd like to visit that Long Island place, if only it were real." after having several servings of a Long Island Iced Tea. The term "mini-album" may also be used.
. Sometimes shorter albums are referred to as EPs, an abbreviation of extended play.

Variations of this drink include:. According to the rules of the British Charts, a recording counts as an album if either it has at least four tracks or lasts more than 20 minutes. Long Island Iced Tea served outside the States are often made of liquors and cola alone(without sour mix). One author suggested at least eight tracks, but there are albums of fewer tracks. This American cocktail is however altered in other countries, due to the minimal use of sour mix. Due to the large capacity of new media, the matter of how long an album should be is open to debate. Because of strict liquor laws in Utah, the cocktail must be served in five shot glasses with the soda, sour and ice in a separate glass, or a single glass with a single shot of alcohol with the 'flavors' of the other liquors. Even a set of tracks released at the same time for distribution on an online music download site is sometimes referred to as an album.

The drink has a much higher alcohol concentration (~28%) than most cocktails because of the small amount of mixer. Now that the vinyl record is archaic, the term "album" is applied to any collection sound recording, including CD, MiniDisc, and cassette. However, stronger evidence suggests that the Long Island Iced Tea was in fact invented in the 1970s by Robert "Rosebud" Butt, a bartender at the Oak Beach Inn (OBI) nightclub in Oak Beach on Long Island. The standard industry format for popular music was an album of 12 songs, originally the number related to payment of composer royalties. This has led to its frequent use in fiction as a method to get a teetotaler drunk. Later, "album" came to refer to a single long-playing 33⅓ RPM 12-inch record of songs or music, since one disc contained as much music as an old-style album of records. The drink also shares a similar taste to tea. The term "record album" originated from the fact that 78 RPM gramophone or phonograph disc records were kept together in a book resembling a photo album.

Some claim that the drink, like most cocktails, was invented during the Prohibition era, as a way of taking the appearance of a non-alcoholic drink (iced tea). An album is a collection of related audio tracks, released together commercially in an audio format to the public. Close variants often replace the sour mix with sweet and sour mix or with lemon juice, and the cola with actual iced tea. A popular variation mixes equal parts vodka, gin, rum, tequilla and triple sec with 1 1/2 parts sour mix with a splash of Coca-Cola, Pepsi, or a similar soda. A Long Island Iced Tea is a cocktail made with, among other ingredients, vodka, gin, tequilla and rum.
