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.
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.
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?)
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.
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.
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”.
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.
