One day in the late 70′s a traveling salesman from New York stopped in The Marquis II and asked the bartender for a long island iced tea. The bartender had never heard of this drink and asked the salesman if he could give her the ingredients. The salesman obliged and the bartender started to make his drink.
After a long hard day at work, the salesman quickly drank his Tea and asked for another but this time in a larger glass. The bartender grabbed a tall glass and the salesman asked for something larger. The bartender grabbed a pint glass and he asked if they had anything larger. The bartender informed the salesman that they had a 23 oz. glass but it was only used for sodas and waters. “I’ll take it!” said the salesman.
A fellow patron saw the New Yorker enjoying this large drink and asked for one as well. As more customers walked in, they all became curious to try such a large drink. The salesman finished his drink and left quietly into the night unknowingly starting a drink revolution that is celebrated to this day.
