Cutwater Long Island Iced Tea 4pk 48oz

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Bright, fizzy and built for backyard gatherings, Cutwater Long Island Iced Tea hits with an immediate cola-citrus rush and a warming alcoholic backbone that makes it feel like a party in a can. It is a ready-to-drink canned cocktail, blended from multiple spirits and cola, labeled with ABV 0.14 (14%) and produced in the United States, so it travels well and pours consistently every time.

Expect forward cola sweetness, zesty lemon brightness and a herbaceous edge from the blended spirits that leaves a clean, slightly warming finish. That structure slices through the heat of spicy wings, cooling and balancing fragrant chili and vinegar, while its citrus lift and effervescence complement the bright, tangy notes of fish tacos without overwhelming delicate seafood.
