The China Blue gets its color like so many blue drinks – from blue curacao. But it gets a very special flavor from the lychee liqueur. The taste of lychee is sweet and slightly flowery. This contrasts beautifully with the tartness of the grapefruit juice and the sweet-tart of the curacao.
The China Blue is a slightly sweet cocktail loaded with fruit juice that’s great for any occasion – even breakfast.
China Blue
- 4 ounces white grapefruit juice
- 3/4 ounce lychee liqueur
- 1 .25 ounces blue curacao
Fill a collins glass most of the way up with ice. Pour in the ingredients and stir gently (you don’t want to “bruise” the alcohol by shaking this one). Garnish with a cherry, or a grapefruit, lemon or lime wedge.
