This is not a drink I would want all the time because it's pretty sweet. That being said, this was delicious. It almost has a chocolatey taste to it. So you'll know, 1/4 fluid ounce is about 2 1/4 teaspoons, and 2 fluid ounces is 4 tablespoons. Thanks for the recipe!

The problem with this recipe is that its wrong. Way wrong...You forgot gin, and blue curacao, the tequila is optional, and your missing the whole reason the drink is called a grateful dead.... Take a pint glass full of ice and add you VODKA, GIN, WHITE RUM, AND TRIPLE SEC, fill with SOUR MIX and top with LEMON-LIME SODA... now the most important part...around one half of the rim of the glass pour in a little BLUE CURACAO, and the other half pour in a little RASPBERRY LIQUER....the two twist together through the drink creating a tie-die effect, hence the name...GRATEFUL DEAD!!!

This was ok at best in my opinion. The concept seems great & the flavor is nice BUT it is just way too sweet for me. If I made it again, I think I would omit the triple sec since it is primarily a sweetener.

This was very sweet, and very strong, but VERY tasty! It was a little too strong for some of my guests, so I had to reduce some of the alcohol, which is why I rated it a 4. I loved it, though. For myself, it's 5 stars...
