Try this in a bar sometime: "Adios"

If you go to a bar or a cocktail lounge, try ordering a certain drink without cussing. It’s blue-colored, has five kinds of liquor and the name starts with “Adios.” You know which one I mean.

:wink:

Pretend you’re too shy to say the whole name: Errr, excuse me, I think I’d like to try the Adios m.f. / Adios mo-fo / just “adios”.

Guaranteed, the bartender or serving person will repeat the entire name of the drink back to you with relish. With special relish if it’s a young woman. Try it.

I obviously don’t get out much because I have absolutely no mo-fo idea what you’re talking about. :confused:

I wouldn’t be able to do it, because it would break at least two of the three Rules of Drinking:

  1. No funny-colored drinks
  2. No drinks with weird or cutesy names
  3. No girly drinks (nothing with umbrellas or fruit salad in it)

Sorry.

Yeah, a bartender tells me the name of a drink. Shooooo-doggies! Ain’t that a corker! (I assume the gag is they yell it loudly in an attempt to embarass you…even then: so what?)

(Why would I order a drink with relish in it anyway?) :wink:

I drank one of those once & managed not to fall on the floor - my friends were both frightened & impressed, as was the bartender. I then decided that I’d had enough for the evening. :slight_smile:

At the restaurant in Houston that I worked with, we renamed the drink. We called it a “Fog Cutter”, even though, since then, it seems to me that I’ve seen an entirely different drink with that name.

All the restaurant staff just called it an “AMF”.

And it will knock you on your ass. Ours was made in a 20-ounce glass. :eek:

Granted, it is stronger than the average well drink, but I’ve had four in a row and I was fine. And I’m not a habitual drinker, sometimes going weeks without alcohol.

Another drink with overrated “kick”: the New Orleans “Hurricane”.

P.S. Whose mo-fo drinking rules is Legend talking about? I always follow my own rules.

Whose rules?
Those are the rules, pal.

what’s the difference between an adios and a blue hawaiian?

I’m teetotal, by choice.

This drink, and accompanying social behaviour, is not going to change my mind.

Not my rules, pal.

There must be a hell of a lot of “rule-breakers” out there, ordering these drinks. I’m glad to be one of them.

Why don’t you regale us with your rules for manly coffee-drinking now?

There is almost nothing more pointless than drunks arguing about how “strong” a drink is (or worse, “that’s only 3.2 beer, doood! Drink the hard stuff - 5.0!”). Jesus Fuck, just drink Everclear from the bottle if that’s all you’re interested in - and I know people who would do just that, too, and gripe that it wasn’t “strong enough”.

ADIOS MOTHER FUCKER!

Wow. That was just the bee’s knees.

Wouldn’t the first two rules fall under the third anyway?

Far as I’m concerned the only rule of drinking is, if you can no longer hold up your end of a conversation, you’re doing it wrong.

I subscribe to these rules too. What of it? The only time I can see breaking these rules is if a girl buys your drink for you. Then it’s okay.

If I say “Adios”, either I or one of my buds are passing out. That’s the only time I say the word. . .

Tripler
Habitual drinker, non-habitual passer-outter.

I just graduated from Bartending college (while in regular college) and I have never heard of this adios drink. It sounds like an Iced tea topped with Blue curacao.

Yeah, a Fog Cutter is:

1/2 oz. Brandy
1/2 oz. Gin
1 oz. Light Rum
Fill with equal parts OJ + Sweet and Sour
Flag Garnish.
