No "Sex on the Beach."  But check out "Iced Tea," from 1980 no less, and quite 
far from Long Island.  Pg. 19:

Iced Tea

1 oz. Vodka
1/4 oz. Gin
1 1/2 oz. Rum
2 Dashes Triple Sec
2 Dashes Sweet Sour
1 Dashes Roses Lime Juice
2 Dashes Simple Syrup
Splash Coke

Pour into bucket glass with ice; top with a lemon twist.

by Tommy Murphy
Greg Publishing Co., Rye Brook, NY
1986

"Tropical Iced Tea" on page 213 is made with vodka, gin, rum, Triple Sec, 
sweet and sour, lemon juice, and cola--ed.)


Now if the Long Island Iced Tea came out in the mid-eighties, that would 
coincide with the publication of this last book, released by a New York 
Publishers.


Comments!!!
