If you purchase a
Long Island Iced Tea in the state of
Utah, due to the bizzare
Utah liquor laws, you will have one of two things happen:
- You will get a hurricane glass with the sour and the cola and the ice, and five little shot glasses all around it with the gin, vodka, rum, tequila, and triple sec around them like children listening to their camp counselor, or:
- A full glass, with one legal shot of alcohol (likely the vodka), with "flavorings" of rum, gin, tequila, and triple sec.
This is because in a bar in the state of
Utah it is illegal to sell a
mixed drink with more or less than one legal serving (defined, I believe, as a half ounce of pure alcohol) in any glass. Drinks that contain more than one legal serving must be in separate glasses when delivered to the table.
So if you get the first one, you pour all the small glasses into the big one (consider it a Long Island Iced Tea Do It Yourself Kit) and get a good drink; however, if you order a LIIT and just get one glass, you're gonna be disappointed.
