I found this to be not only pleasing to the eye (almost an emerald green) but very drinkable. Just a slight tartness but not enough to discourage sipping it. A great cocktail that would surely impress the guests in both its appearance and its taste. The Cognac works nicely with the Blue Curacao and the lemon juice. Will make this again, especially for guests as it is quite an elegant cocktail.

I feel like I've had this before, having learned it from another source. This recipe is nicely balanced and mad flavorful, but I'm wondering if the cheap blue Curacao I'm using is making this taste cheaper and more candy-like than intended. The character of the Cognac does somehow cut through relatively clearly. (5 Feb 2022, 4:59p)
