There are certain cocktails that are made for summer. They have a certain allure that goes beyond their taste and ingredients. The combinations are endless, which means that there is a cocktail out there for everyone, no matter what your preferences are. However, there is one cocktail that receives outrage but manages to outshine all its defames. Long Island Iced Teas or LIITs come with a love-hate relationship for many. While the drink has a reputation as one of the most potent due to its many liquors and a relatively small amount of mixer, it remains a popular choice, particularly in the summer and on vacations.
No matter what, this notorious beverage continues to show up on bar menus with innovative additions. Given the scorching Delhi heat, gulping a flavour-forward and cool LIIT is not a bad option. So, here are the places you should head for a cool glass if you’re in the capital:

5. Chili’s Grill & Bar
Whether you prefer classic flavours or fruity twists, there’s a LIIT for everyone at Chili’s Grill & Bar. While the classic LIIT is a potent mix of spirits, while their addition of cranberry is a bit more balanced.

It also gives the cocktail a vibrant red colour, making it an eye-catching addition to any table.
