A slightly different drink is claimed to have been invented in the 1920s during [[Prohibition in the United States|Prohibition]] by an "Old Man Bishop" in a local community named Long Island in [[Kingsport, Tennessee]].<ref name="OSBORNE" /><ref name="Moore">{{Cite book |last=Moore |first=J. S. |title=Understanding Apples |date=2006-10-13 |publisher=Outskirts Press |isbn=1598007467 |page=48}}</ref> The drink was then tweaked by Ransom Bishop, Old Man Bishop's son, by adding cola, lemon, and lime. Old Man's version included [[whiskey]], [[maple syrup]], varied quantities of the five liquors, and no triple sec, rather than the modern one with cola and five equal portions of the five liquors. It was prepared in the following way:<ref name="OSBORNE">{{cite news|author=Osborne|first=J.

It is unknown what the quantities of the original recipe were, when and how it was changed, and how and why the varied alcoholic ingredients were distilled all in the same place or otherwise acquired during Prohibition.

While some sources say there was a recipe for Long Island iced tea in the 1961 edition of ''Betty Crocker's New Picture Cook Book'',<ref name="Strong"/> no such recipe can actually be found there.<ref>{{cite book|title=Betty Crocker's New Picture Cook Book|url=https://archive.org/details/bettycrockersn00croc|publisher=McGraw-Hill|year=1961|author=Betty Crocker}}</ref>
