Of course 2017 would end with a $1 Long Island Ice Tea promotion from Applebee's

For those who don’t remember — a class that includes anyone who ever finished a Long Island Iced Tea — the classic drink combines one shot of vodka, one shot of gin, one shot of rum, one shot of tequila, one shot of triple sec, sour mix and a “little Coke just to make the color.”

That quote comes from Bob “Rosebud” Butt, the acknowledged inventor of the Long Island Iced Tea.


Took that at face value because not Faux News?

Despite some of the Google results for "rosebud butt" it looks legit on review

And I've added his name to the Most Embarrassing Names list in my head now. Still nowhere close to Dick Butkus, but worthy
