Picture yourself in your favorite dive bar, where simplicity meets flavor. The United in Liquor cocktail is my nod to the American spirit – it's just like our country, bold yet balanced. Blue Curacao swirls into Dry Vermouth with a gentle nudge from lemon juice, reminiscent of stars and stripes on an icy canvas.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz blue Curacao
  • 1 oz Dry Vermouth
  • 0.5 oz Lemon Juice

Instructions

  • Start with a tall glass filled three-quarters of the way with ice.
  • Add 2 oz of blue Curacao, which will serve as our deep red layer.
  • Next, carefully pour 1 oz of Dry Vermouth on top of the Curacao to create a gradient effect for white.
  • Finally, garnish with a lemon twist for a touch of brightness and blue.
