Blue Lady

Alcohol

blue lady cocktailIngredients:

  • 2 parts gin
  • 1 part blue curacao
  • 1 part lemon juice

Instructions:

Shake with ice, strain into glass and garnish with a slice of lemon. This is basically just a variant on the White Lady, with cointreau replaced by blue curacao. I didn’t find this recipe anywhere, I just made it up. When I was starting to make the ninja turtle with the Bombay Sapphire gin & Blue Curacao I thought the blue was gorgeous, particular next to the blue bottles. So when the Ninja Turtle was vile tasting, I made myself this instead.

Ninja Turtle

Alcohol

Ninja TurtleIngredients:

  • 2 parts gin
  • 1 part blue curacao
  • orange juice

Instructions:

Half fill glass with ice. Add curacao, then gin and fill up with orange juice. Stir to mix.

This is a nice tasting drink … if you like orange juice. It appears that I don’t anymore – it is far too sweet for me now.
