Okay, so, I was scrolling through some cocktail recipes the other day, and I came across this thing called a “Walk Me Down.” The name alone got me, right? I was like, “What is this magical concoction, and why does it need to walk me down somewhere?” Turns out, it’s basically a party in a glass. Intrigued, I decided I had to try making it.
First off, I went on a little scavenger hunt for the ingredients. I grabbed some vodka, rum, gin, and tequila from my liquor cabinet – yeah, this drink is not messing around. Then, I had to actually go to the store for the blue curaçao, sweet and sour mix. I found the blue curaçao no problem, but the sweet and sour mix was hiding. Finally, spotted it near the juices, not with the other cocktail stuff. Go figure.
Once I had everything, I got my cocktail shaker and filled it with ice. Then came the fun part – dumping all the booze in. I poured in equal parts of the vodka, rum, gin, and tequila. It felt a little crazy pouring all that together, but hey, that’s what the recipe called for. Next, I added a good splash of the blue curaçao. This stuff is what gives the drink that crazy blue color. Finally, I topped it off with the sweet and sour mix.
Now, the recipe I found said to shake everything except for soda, so that’s what I did. I shook that shaker like my life depended on it. Then, I added a little bit of soda water, just a splash, and gave it a gentle stir. I didn’t want to lose all those bubbles from shaking.
I grabbed a tall glass – they call it a hurricane glass, but I just used a regular tall one – and filled it with ice. Then, I carefully strained the blue mixture into the glass. It looked so cool, all bright blue and icy.
Took a sip, and whoa, this thing is strong! But it’s also kinda sweet and sour and really refreshing. You can definitely taste all the different liquors in there, but they somehow work together. I wouldn’t say it’s my new favorite drink, but it’s definitely an experience. I can see why they call it a “Walk Me Down” – after a couple of these, you might need someone to do just that!
My Final Thoughts
- It’s a fun drink to make, especially with that crazy color.
- It’s strong, so be careful!
- It’s pretty easy to make, once you have all the ingredients.
- It tastes like a party.
If you’re looking for a wild cocktail to try, give the “Walk Me Down” a shot. Just make sure you have a friend around to walk you down afterward!
