A rubber duckie may make bath time lots of fun, but a cocktail doesn't hurt! Here's one featuring two fabulous rums from Florida's Wicked Dolphin Rum in a soothing shade of blue. Perfect for relaxing over a long holiday weekend!

Blue Cocktails! So Pretty and So Blue!

Blue cocktails don't have to taste like they were made in a garbage can at a fraternity party! Cocktail snobs may balk, but most people secretly love a blue cocktail if it's made well. Blue cocktails get their pretty hue from blue curaçao, a liqueur made from soaking the skins of a fruit known as the laraha, the trees of which were the unintended result of planting Valencia orange trees in Curaçao. The oranges were far too bitter to eat, but the mutant fruit they produced proved perfect for liqueur! Used with a light touch (and you only need a little blue curaçao to make your cocktail extremely blue), it can add a lovely note to a drink! I've created a playlist on our YouTube channel with fun blue cocktails for all occasions. Here's to libations that are both delicious and lovely!

Haterade

So far this week I've been called ugly, creepy and unimportant and it's only Thursday. You'd think these things would bother me, but a 1) woman in business with a 2) YouTube channel not only gets these things, but they become routine. However, I recently became acquainted with the term "Haterade" and loved it so much I thought it deserved the cocktail treatment. Shake one up whenever you're not feeling respected and negative thoughts will float away on a happy sea of tequila.

Haterade

2 oz silver tequila

1/2 oz elderflower liqueur

1/2 oz blue curaçao

1/2 oz Bai Antioxidant Cocofusion Molokai Coconut

1/2 oz fresh lime juice

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of dried coconut for extra sweetness, if one is available. 

Just think: if there were no haters, we wouldn't have this delicious cocktail!
