The Adios, Motherfucker cocktail stands out from other cocktails like the Long Island Iced Tea due to its use of blue curaçao and a topper of Sprite or 7UP instead of triple sec and cola. This distinctive swap of ingredients not only gives the Adios, Motherfucker its bold blue color but also imparts a lighter, more citrusy flavor to the drink. Furthermore, the Adios, Motherfucker contains five alcoholic components, making it particularly potent compared to the Long Island Iced Tea.
