Saturday Happy Hour: Dreamy Blues Cocktail (for Colts fans)

by Nicole Weston, Posted Feb 3rd 2007 @ 5:05PM

Yesterday, we saw a blue and orange cocktail to help get the Bears' fans in the mood to support their team before the Super Bowl kicks off. For Colts fans, a blue and white cocktail is needed and, thanks to About.com's super bowl cocktail menu, we can recommend a great one: the Dreamy Blues Cocktail.

This cocktail, despite its blue and white color scheme, is chocolate orange flavored and has layers of white creme de cacao and blue curaçao. It can be made in a martini glass or served as a shot, but in both cases the drink should be carefully layered with the curaçao floated gently on top of the creme de cacao. I find that pouring the "floater" liqueur into a tilted spoon helps create even layers, as you can guide it across the surface of the drink that way.

Full recipe after the jump:

Dreamy Blues Cocktail (for Colts fans)
1 1/2 oz white creme de cacao
1 1/2 oz blue curaçao

Pour the creme de cacao into a chilled cocktail glass and, using a spoon as a guide (or just pouring very carefully), float the blue curaçao on top.
