It took a [tourism board-sponsored] trip to the beautiful island of Curacao for Bachelorette Emily Maynard to decide which of the remaining contestants she would send home last night. By all accounts it was a difficult and tearful choice, resulting in the elimination of 28-year-old insurance agent Sean. Hm…jetting off to the Caribbean and choosing from three gorgeous men that are in love with you? Yes, you’ve got it so rough, Em. We should all be so lucky.
Sadly, we aren’t. So in my opinion, a cocktail made with Blue Curacao is the next best thing. Here are some drink ideas from Dekuyper to bring the island to you.
Adios Mother Iced Tea – ½ part Blue Curacao, ½ part light rum, ½ part vodka, ½ part tequila, 3 parts Sour Mix, lemon-lime soda
Azteca – ½ dash Blue Curacao, 1 part Crème de Cocoa White, 1 part coffee liqueur, 1 ½ parts rum
Blue Hawaii – 1 part Blue Curacao, 1 ½ parts vodka, 2 parts pineapple juice, 1 part Sour Mix
Blues on the Rocks – 1 part Blue Curacao, 2 parts Peachtree
Sparkling Glacier – 1 part Blue Curacao, 1 part Triple Sec, 1 part Sour Mix, orange vodka, champagne
Sweet Talker-tini – 1 part Blue Curacao, 1 part Berry Fusion Schnapps, 2 parts raspberry vodka, squeeze of lime
Remember that alcohol does have calories, so if you’re looking for a lighter drink, try one of these recipes from our Cocktails Under 200 Calories roundup. Enjoy and drink responsibly!
