Two-flavor atom laser in a vortex state is obtained via
electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) technique in a
five-level M type system by using two probe lights with 
-directional orbital angular momentum 
,
respectively. Together with the original transfer technique of
quantum states from light to matter waves, the present result can
be extended to generate continuous two-flavor vortex atom laser
with non-classical atoms.
