Sidecar No. Blue
One orange liqueur, blue curacao, replaces another, triple sec, to give this Sidecar an aquamarine hue

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.
