Long Island Iced Teas are quite Sex & The City. Or at least Satin Island Iced Tea which is essentially the same thing. The program featured them at least once. Unfortunately I don't know what gos into them. They are supposed to be VERY alcoholic with loads of shots in them, but I don't know how many or what they use. I'm always checking out cocktail lists at bars to see if they have proper Long Island Iced Teas, but they always seem to be just a name tagged on another cocktail no stronger than any of the others. But if you found out what was in them, they would be very S&TC.
A Long Island Ice Tea is the four white spirits (Vodka, Gin, Rum & Triple Sec) with sours mix (if you can't get this, water, lime cordial, lemon juice, sugar and egg white) with cola. With cranberry juice, it becomes a Long Beach Ice Tea.
There are lots of variants, replacing the gin with another liquor, or the cola with another mixer.
