Maybe it's the middle of the week, maybe you just want to feel special. Who doesn't find a blue drink intriguing? So why not make yourself an I'm Feeling Blue Martini. It's a take on the classic martini, but to make it a little bit more special we are adding some Blue Curacao. Admit it, haven't you stared at someone else's drink (especially the colorful ones) and said, "Wow...what is that?" If you've ever said that to yourself you also thought to yourself "Wow. I want one of those." So here is the recipe for one of those I'm Feeling Blue Martini drinks. It will make you want to sit back, relax and turn on Eiffel 65 and listen to "I'm blue."

1.5 Blue Curacao
1 ounce dry vermouth

- Strain into martini glass
- Enjoy. Be the envy of your friends

That's a nice pick-me-up. Wish I had the ingredients. I won't tell the health fanatics in my family because I bet there's something unnatural about blue alcohol.

Unnatural yes. If you wanted more natural blend and strain blueberries. It will be more purple than blue, but still be fun and interesting.

I am not worried about the blue dye. Just downloaded Evernote today, based on a conversation through blogging and I was so excited because I could save this recipe to my phone/computer without Facebook or Pinterest. I am definitely going to try this.

Let me know what you think. If you like Martinis its good, but if some fruit juice is added it would probably also be good.
mltrautz@yahoo.com says
Yeah, I am not adding blueberries to start. My mother drank martinis, but I don't know if I ever had one. For some reason, I want to try this and I will let you know.

Just advise Mom that this is a Vodka martini not a Gin Martini. 🙂
