Method
- Set up your jigger and line up your rum, vodka, gin, tequila, and blue curaçao in order. Measure each spirit separately to avoid pouring too much of any one bottle.
- Cut a fresh lime in half and juice it by hand or with a citrus juicer until you have at least 3/4 ounce of fresh juice.
- Add a generous amount of ice cubes to your cocktail shaker or mason jar, filling it about halfway.
- Add the rum, vodka, gin, tequila, and blue curaçao to the shaker in any order.
- Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup, making sure both are measured accurately.
- Cover your shaker tightly and shake hard for about 10 to 12 seconds, until the outside gets frosty and cold.
- Fill a highball or rocks glass with fresh ice cubes, packing them in tightly.
- Strain the shaker contents into your prepared glass using a bar strainer, pouring slowly and steadily.
- Pour about 2 ounces of lemon-lime soda gently over the top of the drink, stirring once or twice to combine.
- Place a lime wheel on the rim or drop it into the drink as a garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy while cold.
Notes
Always use fresh lime juice, never bottled. Chill your glass before pouring for longer-lasting cold temperature. Don't skip the simple syrup as it provides essential sweetness and texture that soda can't replicate. For parties, make this drink in a batch by multiplying all ingredients by the number of servings, shaking in a large container, then pouring over ice into individual glasses and topping with soda at the last moment.
