Adios, Motherfucker

The Adios, Motherfucker (sometimes known as an AMF or a Blue Motorcycle for the squeamish) is essentially a blue Long Island Iced Tea. The drink is American in origin, appeared to emerge in the 1980s, and had a resurgence around 2016. We can’t work out exactly who came up with it.

Ordering one requires … balls.

    Ok, this is totally random, but one of my clients said he and his buddies invented the AMF one night when they were tending bar.
    He used to be a liquor distributor, traveled up and down California and has some crazy stories.

    The Adios Motherfucker cocktail was invented by a bartender at TGIFridays in Orange, whose real name escapes me, but I do remember he had an alter ego named “Loki”. He invented the drink, but it was originally called an “Adios Madre” it evolved into “Adios Mother”, then “Adios Motherfucker”, by, if I recall, Brady “Ike” Eisenhower (AHS class of 1983 or 84), may he Rest In Peace. Ike also invented the “its nacho cheese” joke. I’m totally serious. I was there!

      I drank my first Adios Motherfucker in about 1977 at The Creamery in San Luis Obispo; it had been served there for years. They had a sister restaurant/bar in Newport Beach that also served this drink. They invented it and advertised it as such, calling it an Adios Mother on their menu.

        The Newport Bar was the Studio Cafe and the Adios MF was their signature drink. I lived up the street from there in 83/84.
        It is now a place called Cabo Cafe. I just sold a poster featuring the Adios MF from the Studio Cafe that I bought in 84 that I never unwrapped.

      The Studio Cafe in Balboa Calfornia was serving this drink in the 70s. It was called the Adios Mother on the Menu…..no 3rd word

    I lived on Balboa Peninsula and always heard it originated at Studio Cafe in the late seventies/early eighties.
