See, here’s what’s funny about this: I went to the bar and said, “can I see your fancy drink menu?” because I know this bar has all these, well, fancy drinks. With cool names. But the bartender gave me a different menu, and I ended up ordering…the “blue martini”. Not so fun. And actually, not that good, for the million dollars I paid for it.
Lucy–it’s spring break next week. 🙂 But I’m pretending that means I’m not working–when really, I know I’m working about 3 times as much next week. But whatever. I’ll do one day of daytime drinking. 🙂
Oh jesus… I’m completely hungover and to be honest dude, that made me wretch. I think I may actually…. Yep, you made me vomit. Lovely. Live vomiting over at Luckybuzz’s.
Mmm, I loves me some blue drinks. A blue “martini” (I am a bit of a martini purist, so this doesn’t really qualify) is typically made with vodka and blue curacao, about a 2 to 1 ratio. You can make it super yummy with citrus vodka.
Of course, curacao is just orange-flavored liqueur, and there are much better ways to go about this. A Brazen Hussy, for example, is an infinitely better drink. But not as pretty. So sometimes, when I’m feeling sassy, I substitute blue curacao for the triple sec. I call it a Brazen Mermaid. If you use gin and Cointreau instead of vodka and triple sec, it becomes a White Lady, which is also quite tasty – if you use blue curacao instead of Cointreau, would it be a Blue Lady?… oh dear, I’ve gone off on another cocktail tangent. Better shut up now.

OH MY GOD. Dude! I’m sorry, clare!
Well…this is a first here, I think. I’ll try to avoid inducing vomit in the future. (Hope you’re feeling better, clare!)
