History

The Adios Motherfucker cocktail, also known as AMF, is a strong mixed drink that is similar to the Long Island Iced Tea. 

There’s just a little history here: this cocktail hasn’t been around all that long. It’s an American invention that first appeared in the 1980s. No one is sure who came up with it, and it slipped from popularity during the 90s only to resurge in 2015 and 2016.

Regardless of its origins, the Adios Motherfucker has become a popular drink in bars and clubs around the world. It is often served in a tall glass with ice and garnished with a lemon wedge and preserved cherry. The drink is known for its blue color, which comes from the blue curaçao used in the recipe.

The Adios Motherfucker is also sometimes called the Blue Motorcycle, which is a reference to the Long Island Iced Tea. Both drinks are strong, multi-liquor cocktails that can pack a serious punch.

In fact, the Adios Motherfucker is often referred to as a “four horsemen” drink because it contains four different types of liquor vodka, rum, tequila, and gin.

Variations

The Adios Motherfucker cocktail is a popular drink that has many variations. You can customize the cocktail recipe to suit your taste preferences. Here are some variations to the standard Adios Motherfucker recipe

Long Island Iced Motherfucker

This variation merges the Long Island Iced Tea with the AMF, featuring vodka, rum, tequila, gin, triple sec, sweet and sour mix, and cola. The result is a deliciously strong and flavorful drink with a mix of citrus and cola notes.

Tokyo Tea

Tokyo Tea is a twist on the AMF, adding melon liqueur to the mix. With vodka, rum, tequila, gin, blue curaçao, sweet and sour mix, and melon liqueur, this green-hued cocktail offers a fruity and refreshing taste with a powerful alcoholic kick.

Adios Mother

A slightly tamer version of the AMF, the Adios Mother omits one or more spirits, making it a milder choice for those looking for a flavorful but less potent option. It typically includes vodka, rum, tequila, gin, blue curaçao, sweet and sour mix, and soda water.

Motherfucker Punch

This variation transforms the potent cocktail into a party-sized punch bowl. Combining all the classic ingredients in larger quantities, along with plenty of ice and sliced citrus fruits, it serves a crowd with a refreshing and boozy punch perfect for social gatherings.

Goodbye Motherfucker

A fun twist on the name, this version ditches the clear spirits in favor of dark rum, creating a richer and more complex flavor profile. With the addition of blue curaçao, sweet and sour mix, and cola, it maintains the vibrant blue color while offering a different taste experience.

Adios Beach

Inspired by tropical vibes, the Adios Beach cocktail incorporates coconut rum and pineapple juice into the classic AMF mix. The result is a beachy, blue concoction with a delightful blend of coconut, citrus, and the kick of assorted spirits, perfect for a sunny day by the water.
