Optiblog Grog – Independence Day

I was looking for an Optiblog Grog – Independence Day, July 4th celebration drink and ironically enough came across this one which is actually called Rule Britannia, double ironic for me as I am a Brit! However,  as it can easily be adapted to a red white and blue drink I think it can be renamed Independence Day. It is unusually pretty and clever, but it requires a few hours of forward planning to get these blue ice cubes ready in time. They melt quickly too.

Serves:1

Blue Curacao

1/4 measure Campari

1/2 measure Vodka

1/4 measure pink grapefruit juice

Clear ice

1. Make  blue ice cubes with 1-2 tbsp water and 1-2 tsp Curacao – freeze these well in advance

2. Shake the rest of the ingredients together well over ice

3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and add a blue and a clear (white) ice cube immediately before serving
