This is delightful. I used Hendricks Neptunia gin, āthe taste of the sea in a ginā rather than LDG, as it seemed appropriate; however it is distilled in Scotland so a wetsuit might be more advisable than a bikini. I used Rin Quin Quin a la peche aperatif as this was the only peachy ingredient in my cabinet. So, despite being a first cousin twice removed from the recipe here it is peachy and orangy and is the colour f a turquoise sea.
Blue curacao is the kind of liqueur that can languish for a long time in the home bar. I had some from a years-ago drink I can't even remember. This cocktail makes wonderful use of it by mixing it with gin, which I love.
Amateur bartender newbie! I was too scared to try a sapphire martini and decided to try this first. Of course, I ran out of lemons and begrudgingly used a homemade sour mix I already had and it still came out wonderful. I love that someone married gin and peach. Canāt wait to try with actual lemons!
Made this again but changed the lemon juice to 1/3 oz. The first time we used Giffard Blue Curacao, this time we used The Original Blue Curacao which has a different Curacao flavour due to the use of oranges grown on Curacao. Second version was somewhat dryer.
I mean itās really blue isnāt it? If 80s retro isnāt your thing then it eould taste equally as yummy with ordinary curacao but Iām happy to embrace the retro
An interesting drink where I think peoples opinions on it will likely be based upon what ingredients they use. A drink that's very shaped by the gin and the peach schnapps used. I recommend experimenting and finding your right combo, it can be top tier.
I subbed lemon vodka (specifically Deep Eddy) for the gin and lemon juice and it turned out pretty okay. I think this combo probably isn't for me (I found the lemon/orange/peach combo confusing on the palate) but it certainly is a striking drink, appearance-wise.
