Long Beach Iced Tea cocktail

Long Beach Iced Tea Cocktail Recipe with Ingredients and Instructions

The Long Beach drink is the cranberry-forward cousin of the Long Island Iced Tea, swapping cola for cranberry juice while keeping the same bold base of vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and triple sec. Lemon keeps it tart, cranberry adds color and fruit, and the result is strong, bright, and built for lively party-style serving.
