Blue Long Island Iced Tea

Wanna try something slightly different? Feeling a bit blue? Well, this drink is for you.

It is a spin on the traditional Long Island Iced Tea (LIT) using blue curacao (cur-a-sow). Kind of like the azul ocean on a bright sunny day in Jamaica or some other Carribean locale, this drink offers fun in a glass.

Ingredients
You will need:
Vodka
Gin
Blue Curacao
Triple Sec
Rum
Sour Mix

The Drink Recipe
Now, with a traditional LIT, you want to splash coke in there to make it look dark - like tea (hence the name). With this drink, you don't want to darken it, you want to give it a nice, blue hue - so that is why the coke is eliminated from the recipe. (You could, however, use it if you wish...but I wouldn't!)

Get a tumbler glass, build with ice.
Pour in 1/2 oz of each spirit - vodka, gin, triple sec, blue curacao and rum. Then pour in 2 oz of sour mix. Pour into tin and then back into tumbler glass. Garnish with a lemon and sip with care!

Best served poolside or on the beach. If you want to spruce it up even more, garnish with a flag - an orange wedge with cherries (stuck with a toothpick).
