Blue Cowgirl

Submitted by lazyme

"Christina's, Eastsound, Washington. The name for this straightforward, colorful cocktail is inspired by the Tom Robbins classic Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. The crisp gin with a vibrant splash of blue curaçao makes for a refreshing sipper. A classic martini glass befits this elegant cocktail, though at Christina's they sometimes serve it in a whimsical glass boot.

Great drink, very potent. I think next time, we'll cut down on the gin and add a bit more of cointreau. Thanks Lazyme :) Made for TYM tag game
