This weekend Mrs Brown and I went to a wedding for one of her customers daughters. After the ceremony the guy who was set to be the bartender was not able to come (accident) so Leann and I decided to pitch in and help out, we both have industry experience and were "expendable" guests.
They had a (well three) keg and a 5 gallon cooler full of Bahama Mommas, Leann and I brought Margarita mixes for her and for another guest we know as well as some other liquor we had sitting up on the shelf that we would never drink.
During one of the slow times I stepped into the kitchen and made a concoction using the following ingredients:
-Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Pomegranate Rum
-El Toro Tequila
-Strawberry Margarita mix
-Diet Mountain Dew
I was making it by the pitcher so I apologize if the approximations are a little bit off but here is how a cup SHOULD go:
-Fill tall glass with ice
-Pour 1.5oz Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Pomegranate Rum, .5oz tequila, 1.5oz margarita mix.
-Top off with Mt Dew
-Pour mixture into shaker and repour into glass
-Garnish with lime
After the first two pitchers flew off the bar we were forced to go to the liquor store across the street for supplies,
We blew through three kegs of beer, 5 gallons of Bahama Mama and 40 pitchers of "Quasi Mofo"s.
Awesome night I might add.

Sounds like it might be good. One question: why Diet Dew instead of the straight stuff?
Nobody was drinking it, so I used that instead of the stuff the kids were drinking ;)
Mountain dew, tequila, and rum. So the guests were wired, naked, and dancing to island music. Sounds like a good time. 
Sounds like diabetic hell. Damn.
?que? it's DIET Mountain Dew ;)

Official drink of next years challenge?
Sounds like someone wants to get drunk drinking punch.
Anything wrong with aged rum, neat?

...or good tequila neat...
I clicked thinking a Quasi-Mofo was going to be your challenge car for next year.
Oh come on Walter, you knew better than that.
What I could really go for right now is some purple vodka.

You are giving me far too much credit - but given my experience I really should have guessed it involved liquor.

Nicely done- standing in for the bartender that doesn't show up sounds like a pretty fun way to experience a wedding reception- particularly of a wedding at which you're not particularly close to anybody. Good people watching, I would guess.
That drink sounds like a party waiting to happen, by the way. I chuckled at the "wired/naked/islandmusic" comment. :)
My wife mentioned that I was acting like I was in a "Captain" commercial.
I told my manager about this and was instructed to bring directions
BTW, cool host if they were OK with emergency trips to the liquor store to restock the free bar. I always dig party stories where the host has enough sense to keep it going.
The guests paid for all of the fun stuff themselves!
