Should try this, and a sidecar...

The "Blue Motorcycle": A famous namesake cocktail for the community. It is a highly potent spin on the Long Island Iced Tea, combining vodka, gin, rum, tequila, blue curaçao, sour mix, and lemon-lime soda.
 
Sounds more like the Blue DUI....
Dunno where the motorcycle fits in....other than I imagine it tastes like 2-stroke fuel.
 
Yum Long Islands.

But this?
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • ¾ fluid ounce vodka
  • ¾ fluid ounce tequila
  • ¾ fluid ounce rum
  • ¾ fluid ounce gin
  • ¾ fluid ounce Blue Curacao
  • 1 dash sour mix
  • 2 fluid ounces lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
  • 1 slice fresh lemon
 
When I was a wayward teen, like probably every teen in existence, I would poach "just a little" from every bottle in my parent's booze cabinet into one 12oz bottle for a night out without any thought or concern for how things would mix or taste.

Vodka, gin, whiskey, scotch, rum, creme de menthe, vermouth, port, schnapps, anisette, Bailey's, etc., whatever was in there.

Yeah, you get the idea
:barf

That is what that drink sounds like
 
Just for grins
  • Vodka
  • White Rum
  • Silver Tequila
  • Gin
  • Triple Sec (or orange liqueur)
  • Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Simple Syrup
  • Cola
 
I asked the local pro if he knew it.

He did.
 
long island iced teas at the top flight in Chico, circa 1981. They had a happy hour where a LIIT was a buck and served in a 22oz glass.
 
I've never had one, well I had one last week for the first time, a LIIT.

And I've only been to a bar twice in my life, the first time was with budman. I didn't even have a drink. We were just doing a handoff. :wave

The second time was with my girlfriend, before she knew she was my girlfriend, a year ago in SF.

In the late 1990's, I did peak into a bar. I forgot the name. Actually it was just a door on a strip mall building - no windows. It was a couple blocks away from the Pink Poodle, which I never did visit. I saw some rough older women sitting at the bar and decided, nahhh...

I had to look it up

That drink sounds good to me. I'm not one for going to bars. I prefer to drink at home. I'm not very creative with my drink recipes. My Wife bought me a "Bev" robot bartender and I barely use it. I recently bought a Slushy machine. It is kinda cool, but if you use too much alcohol, it will not freeze properly.
 
Ha, ha... you'd a Loved the Temple Bar in Sunol. Cool place, bullet holes in two of the wooden, high backed booth seats from a wife not too happy
about finding her old man with a sweet young thing. IIRC, wife got 3 rounds off from a snub nosed Smith 38spl before two guys grabbed her and the pistol. Luckily no one was in the booth behind the hubby and the SYT and the three round missed there intended target(s). Five minutes later, ok it's cool back inside for another round! Oh, the "Shitter" was out the back near the railroad tracks and there was a local called "Spoons". If you bought him a shot of JD he'd sit on the bench out front and sing ya song and play the "spoons" for ya. Then in the early '80's the town folks voted Bosco, the black lab, as their Mayor 'cause no one liked the people running. Bosco liked to hang out in the bar or flop down in front of the door. Bosco was Mayor till his passing in the early '90's. Sadly, I think this was about '86-'87, a fire broke out in the local hay and feed store that was next to the bar and burnt down several of the old buildings. Truely miss that place!
