Review:

Considering it's blue, "I quite like it" was the general consensus when we first tried this infamous cocktail. It tastes great when presented with a Jacob Briars' smile accompanied by his booming voice declaring, "I believe you ordered a blue drink."

History:

Created in 2007 by Jacob Briars, Queenstown, New Zealand. Around the time a Facebook group started called "A Jihad on all Blue Drinks." This was Jacob's reaction to it. He "blued' the most popular bartenders' drink" at that time, a Corpse Reviver No.2.
