LONG ISLAND ICED COFFEE CREATED -- THE BREW WITH A BUZZ!

    /24-7PressRelease/ - RONKONKOMA, NY, April 12, 2006 - Joanne Sullivan, General Manager of The Holiday Inn, Long Island-Islip Airport, first dreamed up the LONG ISLAND ICED COFFEE during the summer of 2005. After many taste tests, the final formula was introduced in April 2006. She describes the new libation as" The Brew With a Buzz!" - a tall coffee cocktail with a hint of chocolate and a deep, satisfying java flavor. Drawing comments such as "deliciously decadent" to "a sweet swirl of coffee heaven," the distinct drink combines four dark spirits and fresh coffee over ice to elicit a strong coffee appearance. The hotel's mixologist, Marianne Patti, created the secret recipe with inspiration from her patrons - and the surge of requests for coffee-based drinks.

Media tasting can be arranged. Press photos are available in all formats. Please call Ron Wood at 631.355.0432 for more information, or Email: [email protected].

SISTER DRINK
Long Island has long been a launch pad for icons of American culture. The potent Long Island Iced Tea first appeared in the early 1970's as a cocktail consisting of five white spirits -- vodka, gin, rum, tequila and triple sec, plus cola for a tea-like appearance. By the mid-1980s, the popular drink was mainstay in bars worldwide.
