Breaking Bad (Blue Magic)

Breaking Bad (Blue Magic)One of the cocktail sites I
like to peruse is www.gastronomista.com it’s
filled with over the top cocktails that are beautiful but not always
accessible. Who really drinks out of a nautilus shell? But this cocktail was
do-able for me so I gave it a shot and modified it ever so slightly. The blue
curacao is usually gross (may be the brand “bols”) so I toned it down and used
it mostly for coloring. Oh and yeah it’s named after TV show about meth, what
can go wrong?Ingredients:2 oz Gin1 oz White Rum (or half ounce
white and a half 151 rum)½ oz Orange Liqueur (gran Gala)
and ¼ ounce of Blue Curacao½ oz Lime JuiceTonic Water1 spoon St. George Absinthegrated nutmegShake the first four
ingredients, strain into a glass with ice. Add just enough tonic water to give
it a little sparkle, maybe an ounce or two. Stir gently then float the absinthe
on top and add a pinch of grated nutmeg.
