So you’ve got your White Russians and your Black Russians, but have you heard of a Blue Russian? This cocktail is definitely one of the lesser known Russians. It uses Blue Curacao as its liqueur. That gives it an orange flavor – with the cream, it becomes a little like a Dreamsicle in a glass.
The Blue Russian is a good conversation-starter, since most people have never heard of it, and blue drinks always fascinate people.
Recipe
- 2 ounces vodka
- 2 ounces Blue Curacao
- 1 ounce light cream
Put two or three crushed cubes of ice into a martini glass. Pour the blue curacao in over the ice, followed by the vodka, and top it all off with the cream.
Blue Russian Cat: Sprinkle coconut flakes on top of a Blue Russian.
