Blue Long Island

Once upon a time, it must have occurred to someone that the Long Island Iced Tea was nearly perfect, except for one thing: it wasn’t blue.

Greenish-blue cocktail with ice, blue straw and lemon wedgeTurns out that’s a situation easily remedied: enter the (predictably named) Blue Long Island. Instead of cola, you use Blue Curacao.Of course, not adding cola does change the flavor significantly, and the Blue Long Island is a very interesting drink on its own.

Blue Long Island

  • 1 ounce vodka
  • 1 ounce gin
  • 1 ounce light rum
  • 1 ounce gold tequila
  • 1 ounce Blue Curacao liqueur
  • 5 ounces sweet and sour mix

Fill a collins glass with ice. Pour in the liquors, and then the sweet and sour. Finally, add the blue curacao. Garnish with a slice of lemon and a straw. And feel free to tinker with the amount of sweet and sour to get it to your taste.
