This is one cocktail where the history is probably more interesting than the drink itself. It's presented here as a variant of the Long Island Iced Tea, but I think this is a case of convergent evolution. My theory is that this originated among American servicemen in the Philipines, late 1940s to early 1950s. That would explain the Spanish and the proto-Fratboy aspects of it. But I have no evidence. Would love to know the first published source of this cocktail.
