Blue Lady
Vivid blue with a pale blue head, this is a striking cocktail. It also packs a whopping 45ml (1½oz) of blue curaçao but is far from being a "disco drink"...

It was okay, misses the wow factor

I agree, this drink needs some oomph

By error, I did 45 mils of gin and 30 of blue Curaçao. Still very enjoyable, and one’s eyes enjoy drinking in the electric blue colour as much as the throat, the liquid, even on the palette it is perhaps lacking in complexity.

Je viens de réaliser cette Dame bleue mais n'ayant plus de gin sec, je l'ai remplacé par un gin à la violette et ma fois le résultat était très agréable en bouche...
Votre site reste pour moi la référence pour les cocktails Mr Difford's, encore bravo !

Merci beaucoup, Laurent.

like someone else commented, a bit too sweet and one dimensional, but very easy to drink

I'm not a gin fan (prefer bourbon) but this is a really nice drink. Slightly unusual; but easy to make, looks stunning and is well balanced. I'd be proud to serve this up to unsuspecting guests, and could quite easily drink several myself.

Looks great, tastes nice. Lovely cocktail.

It looks nice, the texture is good but it tastes very boring.
Poured it back in the shaker, added some orange bitters and 1.5cl home made cream of coconut. I really enjoyed it after this adjustment.

Fantastic! I tweaked it a little bit, 4 cl Curaqao, 3,5 cl Gin and 3 cl Lemonjuice. Really fresh.

I have tried with a french gin with cassis notes, i like the flavour; i like the foamy texture of the drink.

Is it possible to go without egg white? Maybe something another would fit?
8th August 2021 at 06:38
You could use aquafaba (chickpea water) as an alternative to egg white. Produces an animal-free similar foam to egg white but doesn't produce mouthfeel of egg white.

I am going to take a leaf from the White Lady to Sabot book and add some fizz. I shall call it a Blue Empress! :-)
Will report back....
Will report back....

Thank you! It was actually pretty nice and quite strong ?
8th June 2021 at 07:44
You could have a hit on your hands!

Recommend fine straining back into the tin then dry shaking to get the foam shown in the photo.
20th February 2021 at 09:14
Agreed! Thanks for bringing to my attention. That's how I made it for the photo, so I have corrected "How to" to stipulate reverse dry shake.

18/20 We loved!

This is insanely, tooth stainingly blue. I will try next time with more of a 2:1:1 ratio for gin, juice and blue curaçao

Looks Gorgeous but I felt it was slightly too sweet and one dimensional. Much prefer a White Lady.....
29th June 2020 at 15:24
I think I prefer this over the classic white lady, the blue adds a bit of fun.
