I don't think I'd mix ANY of those. Except, of course, for the tequila and triple sec.
Actually, a bourbon with a beer chaser would work, too -- and I think I'd use the Miller High Life for that. You could do it in one of three ways: bourbon, beer back, shot in beer, and true boilermaker, also known as a depth charge.
Bourbon, beer back, would be to have the bourbon in a shot glass or a rocks glass, neat, slam it, and then drink the beer as a chaser. Shot in beer is to pour the beer, then pour the bourbon IN it. I don't get the appeal, myself, but some people like it.
Proper boilermaker, bartenders HATE it, because it makes a mess and ruins glassware. Take a shot glass -- not a rocks glass, but the genuine article -- and a heavy-bottomed glass beer mug. Pour the beer, then drop the whole shot glass into the beer. The beer will foam up prodigiously, and you have to drink the whole thing before it spills.
Dropping a heavy-bottomed shot glass into a glass stein has been known to crack the bottom of the stein right out, or chip the shot glass.
