My Flying Tiger Affair

Flying Tiger is the signature drink of a bar and restaurant named Fez. FEz is located in Serendra at The Fort, Taguig. They serve fusion of Spanish and Morrocan cuisine. I went there last month with my friend, one of the owners treated us a few rounds of their signature drink, which he invented a few weeks before that. I asked him why is the name of the cocktail Flying Tiger, he told me that there was this one time he got really hammered and then fell asleep he dreamed about a tiger with wings flying in the sky. That's where he got the name.
I was wondering whay they put in the drink, because it tasted like a sweet tropical punch with a hint of lemon but it feels really hot and heavy when it reaches your stomach. Time passed by and I didn't know how many liters we consumed. At first you won't feel any kick at all then after your tenth jigger, you are already laughing from the silliest jokes which you thought were really funny. Then you statrt dancing and going to the tables of people you hardly know. I finally decided to ask the bartender what was the mix of Flying Tiger. He said it was a mix of 12 spirits 3/4 of a jigger portion of everything, rum, gin, vodka, tequila, triple sez, M scotch, Johny Walker, Jack Daniels, Bacardi Gold and Bacardi White and 151. So in short, I drunk 12 alcoholic drinks in one night, no wonder we got pretty hammered, we thought it was just a simple cocktailbut when I found out that is has 12 spirits, I was a bit shocked. I don't know how many jiggers I finished but I'm sure it was a lot because the next day I felt a pounding in my head. Maybe next time, I better ask the bartenderwhat's in my cocktailbefore I drink so that I would be prepared and know when I should stop
