Step 1: Mix The Cocktail
  1. Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker until it is about halfway full. Pour in the vodka, gin, rum, tequila, triple sec, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and sweet and sour mix. Secure the lid and shake well for around 10 to 15 seconds until the drink becomes cold and well blended.
Step 2: Pour And Finish The Drink
