  • 1 oz Lemon Juice

Prepare the Glass:
  1. Fill a tall glass with ice to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
Add Clear Liquors:
  1. Pour 1 oz of vodka, 1 oz of tequila, 1 oz of rum, and 1 oz of gin into the glass over the ice. These clear liquors form the strong base of the cocktail.

Notes

The Story Behind the Name The name "Bullfrog" is a nod to both the drink's vibrant, often blue-green color and its powerful, "hopping" effect. It’s a modern party cocktail that emerged from the same scene as other high-energy drinks, and it quickly became a go-to for its memorable look and serious kick.
Tips for a Perfect Party Drink
  • Balance is Key: The combination of five different spirits is what gives the Bullfrog its power. The fresh lemon juice and Blue Curaçao are essential for balancing out the strong alcohol flavors.
  • Customize the Color: While Blue Curaçao is the traditional choice, you can also use green melon liqueur for a more vibrant green color.
  • Serve It Cold: The Bullfrog is best served ice-cold. Use fresh ice and make sure your ingredients are chilled to keep the drink refreshing.
     
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
  • How strong is the Bullfrog Cocktail? The Bullfrog is a very potent cocktail due to the combination of multiple spirits. The energy drink can mask the effects of the alcohol, so it's important to drink it in moderation.
  • Is this the same as a Long Island Iced Tea? No, while it contains many of the same liquors, the Bullfrog uses Blue Curaçao and an energy drink instead of Triple Sec and cola, giving it a completely different color and flavor profile.
