So, been a while. I am a bit busy lately what with painting and all, but I have been practicing my mixology quite a bit.
Yes, some of it is sweet. Stop rolling y’all’s collective eyes at me.
Anyway, one drink I featured in the previous incarnation of the blog was made famous in Bangkok, at a place called appropriately enough, Aquatini. It’s a favorite drink of mine, and not too sweet, since no simple syrup is involved.
Aquatini
- 1 part blue curaçao
- 1 part citrus vodka
- splash of sweet and sour mix
Pour all ingredients in an ice-filled shaker. Mix well, and strain into a cocktail glass. Depending on the amount of sweet and sour mix you add, you’ll have a color variation anywhere from sea blue, to sewage green. If you want to avoid the color variation, add ½ part lemon juice and ½ part simple syrup, more or less to taste.
Y’all know I had to bring in simple syrup somehow 😉
I used to make it with plain vodka.
But then, that was before the vodka aisle looked like the bubble gun aisle.
I’m old enough to remember when vodka came in vodka flavor.
That sounds quite yummy.
It sure is!!!
That looks like a Mad Men-esque drink.
I may try that.
