Which cocktail is described as being prepared in a highball, with cubed ice, shaken then strained, and built with vodka, light rum, gin, tequila, and triple sec, balanced with lemon juice and sugar syrup, topped with cola, and garnished with a lemon wedge?

• A. Long Island Iced Tea
• B. Dry Martini
• C. Manhattan
• D. Rob Roy

Answer: (A)

This question tests your recognition of a signature multi-spirit drink that mimics iced tea in appearance and flavor balance. The drink described uses vodka, light rum, gin, tequila, and triple sec, with lemon juice and sugar syrup for citrus-sour balance, topped with cola, and finished with a lemon wedge. It’s prepared in a highball glass with cubed ice, typically shaken to mix and chill, then strained before topping with cola. That specific combination of five base spirits plus a cola topper is the hallmark of a Long Island Iced Tea. The other cocktails don’t fit this profile: a dry martini centers on gin and dry vermouth; a Manhattan centers on whiskey with vermouth and bitters; a Rob Roy uses Scotch with sweet vermouth. None of these include the full set of five spirits and the cola topping.
