How much alcohol does a Long Island Iced Tea typically have?

  1. 3 oz of 40% alcohol

  2. 2.5 oz of 40% alcohol

  3. 2 oz of 40% alcohol

  4. 1 oz of 30% alcohol

The correct answer is: 2.5 oz of 40% alcohol

A Long Island Iced Tea typically contains around 2.5 ounces of various spirits, which are usually about 40% alcohol by volume (ABV). This drink is known for being a potent cocktail, as it combines several types of liquor including vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and triple sec, along with a splash of cola and sour mix to create the tea-like color. The reason 2.5 ounces is significant is that it represents a sizeable alcohol content in a single mixed drink, contributing to the drink's strong reputation. The other options suggest amounts or concentrations that are either not standard or lower than what is generally accepted for this cocktail, leading to a less accurate depiction of what a typical Long Island Iced Tea would contain.
