It's really not a complex drink, but it is a good one. I appreciate the gin adding more herbal qualities as opposed to a vodka and, yeah, it's got the citrus layer thanks to the double-dose of triple sec and curacao. Simple. But you know what? It was a hot, humid, summer day, and this capped it nicely. And it was blue. What more could we ask for?
We really liked it. A bit on the dry side which is perfect. The gin adds herbal notes and it was just a wonderful unique colour. The hints of orange help to round out the taste. Reminds me of a dry gin margarita. Yikes.
I thought this was, a bit surprisingly, OK! I drank one tonight in honor of the Pullman (railroads) Strike that contributed to the setting up of the Labor Day holiday in America. Listening to Coltrane's album of course, while living here in Pullman, WA, named after George Pullman.
