Gin China Blue
Although the China Blue is meant to be low-ABV and refreshing, I do think it benefits from a small measure of Gin. This version is bright, lightly bitter from the grapefruit, floral from the lychee, and less sweet than the original. Total liquid is 110 ml before dilution, so it fits nicely in a coupe.
35 ml Beefeater gin
12.5 ml Kwai Feh lychee liqueur
12.5 ml Marie Brizard Blue Curaçao Liqueur
45 ml pink grapefruit juice
5 ml lemon juice
2 drops saline
Shake hard with ice, then fine strain into a chilled coupe
