This Blue Curacao cocktail is an interesting meld of flavors. The Blue Seafoam cocktail (pg. 128 Sandra Lee semi-homemade Cocktail Time) mixes blueberry flavors with blue curacao liquor. The blue curacao, which is distilled and flavored from the dried peel of bitter oranges, keeps this cocktail from being overly sweet.
And it makes a really pretty drink. I may have added a BIG splash of blue curacao – the deepness of the blue color of your cocktail will depend on your definition of a ‘splash’.

Blue Seafoam

Makes 1 drink

• 3/4 oz. blueberry flavored vodka, Smirnoff
• 3/4 oz. vanilla flavored vodka, Smirnoff
• 1 splash blue curacao
• fresh blueberries ( I used frozen)

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add blueberry vodka, vanilla vodka, and curacao: shake well. Pour into a chilled glass. Garnish with blueberries. (I also added a sugar rimmer).

This was a perfect cocktail at home prior to going out to local theater. Which I must say, if you ever get a chance to see a production of Moon over Buffalo – definitely go. This play is beyond hilarious. And local theater is amazing. It’s usually in a small theater, so you always get a good seat for a good price. And the talent is very good. And very enthusiastic. And, you can get a student discount (this theater gave me 1/2 off!) – so yes, it did pay to take a semester of Japanese that I never had time to pursue afterwords.

OK, rating time. Do I give the Blue Seafoam cocktail a Semi-HomeTested rating of LUSH IT, LUSH IT A LOT, or LEAVE IT?
This is a refreshing, pretty, summer cocktail and gets a Semi-HomeTested rating of LUSH IT.

Kampai!
