Grateful Dead Cocktail

This cocktail is considered the sweeter cousin of the Long Island ice tea. Like that drink, the Grateful Dead cocktail packs a considerable punch!

Ingredients:
 1 fluid ounce tequila
 1 fluid ounce vodka
 1 fluid ounce light rum
 1 fluid ounce gin
 1 fluid ounce raspberry-flavored liqueur (such as Chambord)
 1 cup ice
 1 tablespoon sour mix

Directions:
Combine tequila, vodka, rum, gin, and raspberry liqueur in a highball glass. Fill with ice and top with sour mix.

Pangalactic Gargleblaster

A potent drink based on the description in the very popular Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book.

Ingredients:
 1 tablespoon gin
 1 tablespoon light rum
 1 tablespoon vodka
 1 tablespoon tequila
 2 tablespoons creme de menthe liqueur
 2 tablespoons Galliano
 1 cup ice cubes
 1 slice lemon

Directions:
Combine the gin, rum, vodka, tequila, creme de menthe, Galliano and ice in the container of a blender. Cover, and blend until slushy. Pour into a glass and garnish with a slice of lemon.

Long Island Iced Tea

This is the classic Long Island Iced Tea, containing just a hint of citrus. It is best made with top shelf liquors. Watch out, it is very strong, but tastes very good, so you may not realize all the alcohol you're consuming.

Ingredients:
 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger vodka
 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger gin
 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger rum
 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger triple sec liqueur
 1 teaspoon tequila
 2 teaspoons orange juice
 2 fluid ounces cola-flavored carbonated beverage
 1 wedge lemon

Directions:
In a cocktail mixer full of ice, combine vodka, gin, rum, triple sec and tequila. Add orange juice and cola. Shake vigorously until frothy. Strain into a Collins glass filled with ice, and garnish with wedge of lemon.

Blue Motorcycle

It's kind of like a Long Island iced tea, but with a blue twist!

Ingredients:
 2 cups ice cubes
 1/2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger vodka
 1/2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger tequila
 1/2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger rum
 1/2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger gin
 1/2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger Blue Curacao
 1 dash sour mix
 2 fluid ounces lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
 1 slice fresh lemon

Directions:
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, tequila, rum, gin, Blue Curacao, sour mix and lemon-lime soda. Shake vigorously to get a frothy head on the drink. Pour the contents of the shaker, including ice, into tall bar glass and garnish with a slice of lemon.
