This delicious blue cocktail was inspired by Sully from Monsters Inc. It's bright blue just like Sully's fur and the purple at the bottom of this cocktail resembles Sully's purple spots. This blue monster cocktail is a mixture of homemade lemonade, blue curacao, and silver rum. The red grenadine poured in mixes with the blue curacao to make a beautiful purple and blue drink!
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 1/2 ounces lemon juice
• 1 1/2 ounces silver rum
• 1/2 ounce blue curacao
• 1/2 ounce grenadine
➊ Make the simple syrup: In a small sauce pan, heat sugar and water over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely dissolved. Do not bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool.
➋ Make cocktail: In a shaker, pour in 1 ounce of the prepared simple syrup, lemon juice, silver rum, and blue curacao. Add in a couple cubes of ice, and shake for about 10 second until chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass with ice.
➌ Slowly pour grenadine over the back of a spoon on the side of the glass. The grenadine should fall to the bottom. Slightly stir the mixture so the bottom of the drink is a dark purple and the top of the drink is still the bright blue color.
