Calories: 262kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ounce dry gin
- 1 ounce vodka
- 1 ounce gold tequila
- 1 ounce gold rum
- 1 ounce bourbon whisky
- 1 ounce orange liqueur
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 2 ounces fresh-squeezed lemon juice, approx. 2 small lemons
- 2 ounces cola
Garnish
- lemon wedge and ice
Instructions
- Add ice to a cocktail shaker (or a large mason jar with a lid) until it's about half full.
- Pour in the gin, vodka, gold tequila, gold rum, bourbon, orange liqueur, simple syrup, and lemon juice.
- Seal the shaker and shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds, until the outside is too cold to grip comfortably.
- Set out two lowball glasses. Hook a lemon wedge on the rim of each, then fill each glass three-quarters full with fresh ice.
- Strain the cocktail evenly between the two glasses.
- Top each drink with 1 ounce of cola, poured last.
Notes
- I highly suggest that you do not use liquors that are bottom shelf, and that you use individual liquors that you would enjoy drinking on their own. Due to the nature of this recipe, it is a very strong drink and you want it to be as smooth as possible. I do not feel that top shelf, or very expensive, brands need to be used, but I do think that the quality does make a difference.
- This recipe makes two drinks. If you are serving a crowd, you can double or triple the recipe to make a pitcher for sharing.
- Add a fancy straw to your glass to make your drink extra fun.
