Alright, let’s talk about this “blue motorcycle” drink, eh? Sounds fancy, but it ain’t rocket science. I heard some folks callin’ it a “cocktail,” but to me, it’s just a mix of stuff, you know? Like when you throw a bit of this and a bit of that into a pot, only this time it’s in a glass.
So, what’s in this blue thing? First off, you gotta have some vodka. Yeah, that strong stuff. Then, they say you need some rum. You know, the pirate drink? And get this, tequila too! That’s the one from them hot countries. Oh, and gin. Lord, that’s a lot of spirits already! My head’s spinnin’ just thinkin’ about it.
Now, the secret to the blue color, I reckon, is this blue curaçao stuff. Sounds foreign, don’t it? Probably is. But it makes the drink all pretty and blue, like the sky on a clear day, only, you know, in a glass.
- Vodka – one ounce, they say. That’s about a shot, I guess.
- Rum – same amount, one ounce. Don’t go pourin’ the whole bottle now!
- Tequila – another ounce. These city folks sure like their liquor.
- Gin – yup, you guessed it, one ounce. We ain’t done yet, though.
- Blue Curaçao – one ounce of this blue magic.
And then, to make it sweet and sour, they add some sweet and sour mix. Two ounces of it, they say. That’s like two shots, but it ain’t as strong as the other stuff. Finally, a splash of lemon-lime soda. Just a little bit, like when you’re sprucin’ up your tea.
Now, how do you put this all together? Well, they say you gotta fill a shaker with ice. You know, one of them things bartenders use. Then dump all the liquor in there, the blue stuff, the sweet and sour stuff, and give it a good shake. Shake it hard, like you’re churnin’ butter! They say you gotta get it “frothy.” Fancy word for bubbly, I guess.
After all that shakin’, you pour it into a tall glass, ice and all. Don’t go strainin’ it, they want the ice in there. And to make it look even fancier, they stick a slice of lemon on the side. Like that makes it taste any better, but hey, it looks nice, I suppose.
This blue motorcycle thing, it sounds strong. I mean, all that liquor? It’s like a Long Island iced tea, they say, but blue. I ain’t never had no Long Island iced tea neither, but I heard it’s potent. So, if you’re gonna drink this blue motorcycle, you better go slow. Don’t want you fallin’ off your chair, now, do we?
And they call it a “motorcycle”? Beats me why. Maybe it’s ’cause it’ll make you feel like you’re ridin’ one, all fast and dizzy? Or maybe it’s just ’cause the blue looks like, you know, a motorcycle? These young folks and their fancy names, I tell ya. Back in my day, we just called it booze.
Anyway, that’s the long and short of it. Vodka, rum, tequila, gin, blue curaçao, sweet and sour mix, and a splash of lemon-lime soda. Shake it up, pour it over ice, and stick a lemon on it. Sounds simple enough, even for an old gal like me. But I think I’ll stick to my sweet tea, thank you very much. All that liquor would knock me out faster than a mule kick!
But if you’re feelin’ adventurous and wanna try this blue motorcycle drink, go ahead. Just remember what I told ya, and don’t overdo it. And if you see a real motorcycle after drinkin’ it, maybe don’t try to ride it, eh?
