To make a Big Easy Blue cocktail from Logans, you will need a few key ingredients: blue Curacao, rum, lemon juice, pineapple soda, and a lemon wheel for garnish. This refreshing and tropical cocktail is perfect for any occasion.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make the Big Easy Blue:
1. Gather all the necessary ingredients and equipment. You will need a cocktail shaker, rocks glass, ice, a jigger for measuring, and a knife to cut the lemon wheel.
2. Start by filling the cocktail shaker with ice. The ice will help chill the drink and dilute it slightly, resulting in a smoother taste.
3. Using the jigger, measure out 1.5 ounces of blue Curacao. This vibrant blue liqueur adds a beautiful color and sweet citrus flavor to the cocktail.
4. Next, measure out 1.5 ounces of rum. You can use your preferred type of rum, whether it be light, dark, or spiced. The rum adds depth and richness to the drink, complementing the other flavors.
5. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the cocktail shaker. The fresh lemon juice adds a tangy and acidic element, balancing out the sweetness of the blue Curacao and the rum.
6. Now, it's time to shake the cocktail shaker vigorously. This helps to mix all the ingredients together and chills the drink. Shake for about 10-15 seconds or until the shaker feels cold to the touch.
7. Strain the cocktail into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. The ice will keep the drink cool and prevent it from becoming too diluted.
8. Top the cocktail with pineapple soda. The pineapple soda adds a tropical and fruity twist to the Big Easy Blue. You can adjust the amount of soda to your liking, depending on how strong or light you prefer your cocktail.
9. garnish the drink with a lemon wheel. Simply slice a lemon into thin rounds and place one on the rim of the glass. This adds a visually appealing touch and a hint of lemon aroma to the cocktail.
And there you have it, a delicious and vibrant Big Easy Blue cocktail from Logans. Sip and enjoy this refreshing drink, imagining yourself in the heart of New Orleans or on a sunny beach vacation. Cheers!
