Tasting life one recipe at a time

Cocktails

Blue Lagoons

Photo lost when the old site was hacked. (trying to find new spots in our apartment to get drink shots…) Newer posts will have photos.

This recipe is ill-timed.  The first time A tried one of these she was in college on Spring Break in Mexico and was sipping them down poolside.  Now it is freezing and gross.

That said, this light, refreshing and summer-y drink satisfies all times of year, even on a dark, dank winter night in NYC.

 

Blue Lagoons (amounts below yield 1 drink)

1 oz vodka

1 oz Blue Curacao Liqueur

.5 oz lemon juice

1 tsp sugar

Ice cube

 

We made the lemonade first, by juicing 1/2 a lemon (about 1 oz juice since we made two). Then we stirred in the sugar until it dissolved and then threw in the ice cubes.

Add the vodka and blue curacao (double if you’re making two drinks).

Mix.

Close your eyes and imagine you’re at a beach.

Sip.

    Almost seems counter-intuitive to have a “blue” drink to lift one’s spirits …

      Nooo!! Blue drinks are the BEST!!!

      I thought it said, “Cross your eyes and imagine you’re at the beach.” So I did it, and it was heaven!
