Earlier this year, we celebrated my brother-in-law’s twenty-first birthday by spending the day in Orlando. My wife and I went with her brother, two sisters, and one of their boyfriends, Fred. Somehow during the course of the day we ended up at the Mall of the Millenia after lunch and while the ladies shopped their little hearts out, us boys found the “Blue Martini” lounge and planted ourselves at the bar. My brother-in-law doesn’t really drink, but Fred and I were determined to have him at least try a couple of cocktails to make the passage to “being official” official. Soon enough, we were rejoined by the ladies and for the second round and my wife ordered the “Blue Moon Martini”.
She liked it so much she copied the ingredients from the martini “menu” and we have since recreated the recipe for this fruity and refreshing cocktail.
Blue Moon Martini
Vodka - 2 parts
Watermelon Pucker - 1 part
Blue Curacao - 1 part
Pineapple juice - splash
Sour mix - splash
Combine all the ingredients with ice. Shake hard and pour into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with pineapple.
Recommended listening for the Blue Moon Martini…The Cowboy Junkies
I like to say that the Cowboy Junkies are neither cowboys or junkies. They’re a Canadian band mostly consisting of siblings that have blazed their own style of music that blends rock, alternative, country, and folk. The perfect song kicks off the album: “Blue Moon Revisited”.
