Blue Velvet Martini

Every once in a blue moon when say we’ve had a rough day or week dealing with difficult  situations  such as experiencing cold gloomy weather in the middle of “spring”, a stiff drink becomes necessary simply for the sake of relaxing all the tense muscles. If you want to induce sunny thoughts, one of my favorite fall back libations for us is the blue velvet martini. Its spring-y/summery hue in of itself is soothing.

1 1/2 oz. vodka

1/4 oz. blue curacao

Dash of Rose’s lime juice (adjust to the sweetness level preferred)
