Author Notes: Long ago I met my husband while I was out with my friends floating down the Clackamas River on a hot Sunday afternoon. We pulled ashore for lunch and then as we were getting in our boats to continue our float trip, he jumped into my boat. So...later that evening we went to dinner and this was the popular drink of the time. I can hardly imagine drinking such a kitchen sink kind of drink, so I am always surprised at how refreshing it tastes...and how quickly it puts you under an alcoholic spell. - dymnyno

Serves 2

1 oz gin
1 oz vodka
1 oz light rum
1 oz tequila
1 oz cointreau
squeeze of fresh lemon juice
big splash of sweet and sour mix or Tom Collins (2 oz)
splash of coke for color (this will make it look like ice tea)
lemon slice for garnish
ice

Mix all the ingredients and pour into two tall glasses of ice. Garnish with slice of lemon and a sprig of mint . This drink contains a LOT of alcohol. Drink responsibly! Enjoy!
