This drink has a disgusting name, but it lives up to it's name quite well. Here is an early printing of this drink:

Orange Coast Magazine - Jun 1980 - Page 117 Vol. 6, No. 6

"Among the house specialties are the "Adios Mother", a combination of vodka, gin, triple sec, white creme de menthe, lemon juice, blue curacoa and soda."

This drink appears at the same time as the Electric Iced Tea but, it originates much further south, some even say Mexico. This early printing was from the west coast, however, The full name was not given, the ingredients are not accurate, and curacao is spelled incorrectly. So we can dismiss this as a source of factual historical data, however, it certainly can be considered a reference point.

This drink appears in much early Texas literature such as Texas Monthly and The Houston Chronicle and it seems to have gained the most popularity during the middle 1990's as we see in these publications:
