Method

Measure & Combine

  1. 1

    Add spirits to shaker

    Measure and pour 15 ml vodka, 15 ml white rum, 15 ml gin, 15 ml tequila and 15 ml triple sec into a cocktail shaker.

  2. 2

    Add 25 ml fresh lemon juice and 15 ml simple syrup to the shaker with the spirits.

Shake

  1. 3

    Add ice to the shaker (see 'Ice (for shaker)'). Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the exterior of the shaker feels cold and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.

Prepare Glass

  1. 4

    Fill a highball or Collins glass with fresh ice (see 'Ice (for glass)') so the finished drink stays cold and properly diluted.

Assemble & Finish

  1. 5

    Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the fresh ice to remove tiny ice chips and pulp.

  2. 6

    Top the drink with approximately 60 ml (a splash) of Coca‑Cola. Gently stir once or twice to marry the cola with the cocktail without flattening the carbonation.

Garnish & Serve

  1. 7

    Garnish with a lemon wheel or wedge on the rim. Add a straw if desired and serve immediately.
