3/4 ounce vodka
3/4 ounce white rum
3/4 ounce silver tequila
3/4 ounce gin
3/4 ounce blue curaçao
3/4 ounce simple syrup
1/4 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Lemon lime soda, to top
Garnish: lemon wedge
Add the vodka, rum, tequila, gin, triple sec, simple syrup and lime & lemon juices to a Collins glass filled with ice. Top off with a splash of lemon lime soda and stir gently to combine. Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve with a straw.
The Adios Motherfucker is basically just a Long Island with an LA twist. In place of the triple sec, you use blue curacao, and instead of cola, you use sprite or 7up. Other than that, it’s the same drink, but in this case, instead of looking like iced tea in the glass, it looks like a glass of drain cleaner with a lemon twist.
As a variation on another drink, it’s a bit hard to pin down the exact origin story, but it seems like it most likely came about sometime in the 80s, though I’ve read some unverified stories from people who say they were drinking them as early as the 70s. Either way, by the 90s they were certainly very popular, especially in southern California.
The Adios Motherfucker also goes by many other names. Adios, AMF, Adios Mother F-er, Walk Me Down, Blue Motorcycle, & Boston Tea Party.
