While it may seem like you\u2019re watching a magic trick when the bartender prepares your drink right before your eyes \u2014 or maybe it just feels that way once you\u2019re a couple cocktails in \u2014 most drinks are actually pretty straightforward and require minimal effort. This segment will uncover the secrets of classic cocktails, and as a bartender, I\u2019ll let you know what\u2019s actually in those popular drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most common cocktails ordered, especially by college students, is called an AMF. It stands for Adios, Motherf&#8212;&#8211;, and it is regarded as one of the strongest drinks one can order. Many people consider this to be a staple drink for 21<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> birthdays and it has even been deemed from some as a \u201crite of passage\u201d.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The AMF is served in a pint glass (16 ounces) full of ice and is made of four different types of liquor, blue curacao, sweet &amp; sour and Sprite or 7UP. Not only is this drink strong in alcohol content, but it also mixes different types of liquor together, which is discouraged as a general drinking rule. The drink is then topped off with a maraschino cherry, a lemon wedge and an orange wedge. There are also different flavors of AMF\u2019s so make sure to ask your bartender for a different flavor if you would like something else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Please drink responsibly, and only drink if you are 21+.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/files\/2019\/02\/016-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"337\" height=\"506\" class=\" wp-image-9609 alignleft\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/files\/2019\/02\/016-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/files\/2019\/02\/016-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/files\/2019\/02\/016-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>AMF<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Servings: 1<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3\u20444 ounce vodka<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3\u20444 ounce gin<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3\u20444 ounce light rum<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3\u20444 ounce tequila<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3\u20444 ounce Blue Curacao<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2 ounces sweet &amp; sour mix<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1\u20442 ounce Sprite\/7UP<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 lemon wedge<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 orange wedge<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 maraschino cherry<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact the author at <a href=\"mailto:mwong16@wou.edu\">mwong16@wou.edu<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Courtesy of Caity Healy (Videographer), Kyle Morden (Video editor), Paul F.
