Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker: Essential for mixing everything smoothly.
  • Strainer: Keeps unwanted bits out of your drink.
  • Jigger: To measure your ingredients accurately.
  • Stirring spoon: Helps combine ingredients perfectly.
  • Highball glass: This is what you’ll serve your drink in.

Ingredients

Now, here’s the fun part—gathering the ingredients! To make the Glacial Blue Collins, you’ll need:

  • 2 oz gin I prefer a high-quality, floral gin
  • 1 oz blue curaçao for that stunning color
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice to add zing
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup for sweetness
  • Club soda for a bubbly finish
  • Ice to chill your drink

These ingredients blend to create a drink that’s both refreshing and beautiful. Fresh ingredients make all the difference. 🌿

Instructions

Here’s how to mix your cocktail like a pro:

  • Fill a shaker with ice and add gin, blue curaçao, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
  • Shake it well to blend the flavors and chill the mixture.
  • Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice.
  • Top with club soda, giving it a light stir to blend.
  • Garnish with a lemon slice or cherry.

Each step is simple and makes your drink delightful. Don’t forget to taste and adjust for your personal preference. 🍸

    Notes

    A few tips to perfect your Glacial Blue Collins:
    Adjust sweetness: Add more syrup if you like it sweeter.
    Garnish creatively: A slice of lime or a sprig of mint adds flair.
    Made a big batch? Store leftovers without club soda; add when serving.
