Irish Trash Can vs AMF

You may have noticed that the Irish Trash Can has a lot of similarities to another potent cocktail, the AMF or Adios Mother Fucker. There are, however, a few differences between the two drinks.

AMF’s have a few things Irish Trash Cans do not, like sweet and sour mix, tequila, and clear soda. Irish Trash Cans have some ingredients that are not in the AMF, like triple sec, peach schnapps, and Red Bull.

I like both cocktails, but overall prefer the fruitier taste of the Irish Trash Can, as well as the caffeine boost it gives you.
