To assume that his name is a joke, in the style of Bart Simpson, is a large 
assumption. His name is Butt, so it must be a joke, I don't follow your logic 
here. sorry. !-)

Another assumption is that the cola is what gives it it's colour, but 
considering we hardly know anything about the Long Island Iced Tea, where is 
the evidence?


A while ago I remember reading an article by Robert Plotkin, whereby he said 
that participants in a LIIT competition would be awarded extra points for 
shaking the cola with their drinks, as this knocked out the carbonation in the 
cola, and made the LIIT taste more like a regular Iced Tea. Where do people 
get these ideas?

Another one from American Mixologist Online Vol. 16, No. 15: "Contemporary 
Classics — A frozen Long Island Iced Tea is a refreshing break from 
convention."
