I assume everyone reading this is over 21, yes? Apologies if the name furrows anyone’s brows. My beloved, 90 percent proper First Niece tells me that back in nursing school they referred to this more simply as the “AMF.” That works, too, although for me that conjures memories of stinky bowling alleys.

Also, apologies if you’re one of those people who thinks more than three ingredients is too much work for a cocktail. This one boasts nine. Yeah, it’s a lot of work, but on the up side the recipe is simple enough (equal amounts of everything) that it will scale up well for patio parties.

Truly, it’s just this side of garbage-pail punch, but without the attending risk. But more importantly … It. Is. Delicious.

This hits me as Tiki’s answer to Long Island Iced Tea. Or maybe, based on the name, it’s New Jersey’s answer. Its alternative (and far more kid-friendly) name is “Alaskan Iced Tea,” befitting its glacier-blue color. But that color comes from Blue Curaçao – most definitely not an arctic liqueur. Think “lagoon” instead of “glacier.”

Fun fact: The first time I wanted to make this, we had no lemon-lime soda in the house. There’s not much I don’t have in the booze pile at this point, but we had no lemon-lime soda. That’s, well, kid stuff. Anyway, here it is.

ADIOS MOTHERFUCKER
½ oz Vodka
½ oz Gin
½ oz Light rum
½ oz Blanco tequila
½ oz Blue Curaçao liqueur
½ oz Lemon juice
½ oz Lime juice
½ oz Simple syrup
Lemon-lime soda to top

Shake the first 8 ingredients with ice and strain the mix into an ice-filled highball or Collins glass, top it with lemon-lime soda, and garnish with a “sail” of a lemon slice and Luxardo maraschino cherry.
