Everything has a history and so does the LIIT. One of the most loved cocktails across the globe was invented in 1920’s with a mix of whiskey and maple syrup. However, today it involves rum, gin, vodka, cola and different restaurants have their creative touch or mixes to it. We are suggesting pubs with good LIIT (nay, great LIITs) you should head to this weekend for best and they’re so good that you can’t stop after having just one.

1. Hard Rock Cafe
This is the first place that comes to mind when you feel like having international flavours while enjoying some live music. Their cocktails are not only famous in India but also in the west, especially the LIIT’s . They serve various versions of it such as Long Caribbean Iced Tea, Channel Island Iced Tea, Raspberry Iced Tea, Boston Iced Tea and Texas Iced Tea. All of them are surprisingly different and are very distinct from each other. But their most sold and our most favourite LIIT is the Ultimate LIIT which is a mixture of vodka, gin, Bacardi superior black, orange liqueur with sweet and sour and a splash of coke. It is best accompanied with Hard Rock Nachos.

We love to lounge here on a weekend, especially because of their fun events and brunches. Their Drunken Tree is their version of the classic Long Island Iced Tea and we can tell you that only one will get you woozy by the end. That stuff is strong AF. So looking to have a good time? We can definitely recommend this.
