Not a huge fan of the sweet, but the gin & bitters in this drink peck hard enough to make its taste worth your while plus, it does have the “ooooh, pretty” factor of being blue and all. Not part of the 90’s tartini craze and the newer version, this drink has some decades in its nest. I found it in an old bar bible.

Here we go –

• 3 oz Gin
• ½ tsp. Blue Curacao
• 4 dashes Angostura Bitters

Shake ingredients softly but long enough to really get the cold going in a nice shaker, strain into a cocktail glass with a lemon peel or Maraschino cherry on the lip of the glass. (Don’t shoot me, but they even make blue Maraschino cherries if you want to make some sort of statement).
