Long Island Ice Tea in Side

The Long Island Ice Tea at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side is a bold, tall-glass cocktail built from vodka, rum, tequila and Cointreau, brightened with lemon and topped off with cola. It's a spirit-forward classic served in our lively old-town bar, open daily until 02:00.

What the Long Island Ice Tea is at Hawaii

Don't let the name fool you: there's no tea in it. Our Long Island Ice Tea is a full-throttle mixed cocktail that gets its cola-brown, iced-tea look purely from the drink itself. At Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side old town, we build it from vodka, rum, tequila and Cointreau, then lift it with lemon and finish it with cola. Four spirits and an orange liqueur in one glass, balanced by citrus and just enough cola to round off the edges.

The result is a drink that tastes far smoother than its lineup suggests. The lemon keeps it lively rather than syrupy, and the cola gives it that familiar dark colour and a gentle sweetness. It's one of those cocktails that sips easy and rewards patience, which is exactly why it's earned its place on our Cocktails list.

How we serve it

We serve the Long Island Ice Tea cold and refreshing so it stays crisp from first sip to last. It arrives at your table the same way whether you're perched at the bar or settled in for dinner, part of the easy, holiday-mode rhythm of an evening at Hawaii. We've been pouring drinks like this in Side old town since 2000, and this one is a reliable crowd-pleaser night after night.

A quick, honest note: this is a genuinely spirited cocktail with four different spirits plus Cointreau in the glass. One is a lovely, slow-sipping treat. Pace yourself, keep some water alongside, and let it do its thing.

Who it's for and when to order it

The Long Island Ice Tea is for the confident cocktail drinker who wants something with real backbone rather than a soft, fruity sipper. It's a great choice to kick off a big night out, to raise for a birthday toast, or simply to settle into after a long beach day. Order it as an aperitif while you scan the menu, or keep it going through a session of karaoke and live sport on our screens.

Timing tip: our Happy Hour runs daily from 19:00 to 20:00, which is the sweet spot to sit down, order a round and watch the old town light up for the evening. If cocktails are your reason for coming out, we're proud to be considered among the best cocktail bars in Side.

What to pair it with

A Long Island Ice Tea is punchy enough to hold its own alongside bold, savoury food. It pairs happily with sharing starters and grill plates off our real wood-fire and charcoal kitchen, so line it up with something from our starters and meze or a plate straight off the charcoal grill.

If you'd rather rotate through a few drinks over the evening, the rest of the bar has you covered, from ice-cold beers and Turkish wine to frozen blends and mocktails. Go tropical with our house Blue Hawaii signature cocktail, or switch to a frozen cocktail when the night heats up. Bringing the family? We do alcohol-free kids' cocktails so the little ones can toast too.

How it fits the wider menu

The Long Island Ice Tea sits in our Cocktails list, one part of a bar that runs all the way from beers and Turkish wine to frozen blends and mocktails. Around it, the kitchen turns out thin-crust 33cm Italian-style pizzas, chargrilled steaks and international favourites, all made with fresh ingredients daily.
