Saying the competition was “possibly rigged,” New York bartenders involved in the Long Island Iced Tea contest called for an investigation Monday. In a news release sent to area media, the New York bar staff said it is “evaluating legal avenues against the fraudulent contest and intends on sending Visit Kingsport a cease and desist letter as they claim to have won the contest.” Visit Kingsport distributed a nationwide press release last year reclaiming its place in history as the home of the Original Long Island Iced Tea.
