Making a proper Long Island Iced Tea at home means buying five different bottles and using a splash from each. Nobody does that twice. Ours puts the whole job in one can, blended in small batches at our place in Manchester and ready whenever the fridge is. Crack it open, pour it over ice and the hard work is already done.
Long Island Iced Tea in a Can
Each 200ml can is a full, ready to drink Long Island Iced Tea with that unmistakable cola and citrus character. No measuring, no five-bottle shopping trip, no cupboard full of spirits you only use a splash of. The 8 pack keeps the fridge honest, and the 24 pack has barbecues, birthdays and long weekends covered.
If your crowd likes a bit of everything, our taster pack brings eight Boozy flavours together in one box, with the Long Island Iced Tea holding its own against all comers.
The 700ml Bottle
The 700ml bottle is the same pre-mixed Long Island Iced Tea in a pour-your-own format. Keep it chilled and serve over plenty of ice in a tall glass. At a standard 100ml pour you will get seven serves from the bottle, which sees most gatherings through the evening comfortably.
What Does It Taste Like?
Cola and lemon lead the way, with a dry, grown-up finish underneath rather than a sugary one. The Long Island Iced Tea has always been a cocktail that tastes far gentler than its recipe reads, and we built ours to match the balanced, bar-made version, refreshing first, everything else second.
How to Serve It
Tall glass, plenty of ice, and a wedge of lemon if you have one, that is the classic look. Give the cans a proper chill in the fridge first, a couple of hours at least. The bottle wants the same treatment, cold and poured over ice. And when there is no glass in sight, a cold can on its own does the job at a barbecue or in a beer garden.
How Strong Is It?
Both the cans and the bottle are 9.8% ABV, which works out at just under 2 UK units per 200ml can and about 6.9 units across the full 700ml bottle. One can is one proper cocktail, so treat it like one. If you want to see how that compares with a Long Island Iced Tea mixed at home, our Cocktail ABV Calculator lays it out clearly.
Small Batch, Made By Us
Every batch is blended and canned by us in Manchester, on our own kit. Being the manufacturer as well as the brand means the recipe answers to nobody but our customers, and it has been sharpened by years of their feedback.

Long Island Iced Tea FAQs
Is there tea in a Long Island Iced Tea?
No tea at all. The drink gets its name from its looks, poured over ice with a lemon wedge it is a dead ringer for a glass of iced tea, which is half the fun of it.
What is in a classic Long Island Iced Tea?
The traditional bar build uses vodka, gin, rum, tequila and triple sec, lengthened with lemon and a splash of cola. Ours delivers that classic flavour ready mixed, so you get the drink without the shopping list.
How many servings are in the 700ml bottle?
Seven serves at a standard 100ml pour, each one lengthened over ice in a tall glass. Keep the bottle in the fridge between rounds.
Where does the name come from?
The story goes that the drink was invented on Long Island, New York in the 1970s, with a local bartender claiming it came out of a cocktail competition. Wherever the truth lies, it stuck, and it has been a bar menu fixture ever since.
