	I thought that an Iced Tea also contained Tequila. A friend of mine
related a story to me about a bartender from the Jersey shore that described
the drink to contain the five whites: VODKA, GIN, RUM, TEQUILA, & TRIPLESEC.
Perhaps this is the difference between LI I.T. & regular I.T. Would someone
on the net please verify if you know.
