Ingredients

Scale

Spirits

  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1 oz gin

Mixers

  • 2 oz orange juice
  • 2 oz sour mix
  • 2 oz Sprite

Optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shaker: Fill your cocktail shaker halfway with ice to chill the ingredients and properly mix the cocktail.
  2. Add the spirits: Pour in the vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and melon liqueur into the shaker for a strong and flavorful base.

  4. Shake the mixture: Shake the cocktail vigorously until all ingredients are well combined and chilled.
  5. Prepare the glass: Grab a highball glass and fill it with fresh ice, ensuring the drink stays cold.
  6. Strain the cocktail: Strain the contents from the shaker into the highball glass over the ice.
