Happy Wednesday! In case you were wondering…….tomorrow’s my birthday! Thrillsville. Ha, no I meant yeay it’s my birthday tomorrow, but you know…..once you have kids (or at least for me) you kind of really don’t care a whole lot about your birthday. I honestly don’t know it’s coming until the kids get wind of it, and then they talk about it over and over and over. Then I realize….Dang it’s been another year, hasn’t it?
We have 2 days left until the 4th of July! We all love that holiday around here. If you need to be inspired with more Red, White & Blue things for the 4th, here are my Pinterest boards for you to take a look at: My Patriotic Cocktails & Shooters, Patriotic Yummies and Patriotic Crafts.
Sticking with the gin theme, I wanted to find a blue cocktail to make as the 4th approaches. I found this cocktail at about.com. Well I’ll tell you…..it’s blue for sure…..I even have some blue under a couple of my nails. This cocktail kinda…….tingles/burns the back of my throat (how’s that for honesty). It’s flavor is…OK, I do taste all of the ingredients…but I have to say that these three ingredients have been in better cocktails. Well, like I said…..it’s blue for sure!
Here is the recipe for a Sapphire Alpine:
- 1 ounce gin
- 1 ounce blue curacao
- 1 ounce peach schnapps
In a shaker, add ice and all three of the ingredients above. Shake and strain into a martini glass.
Here is a photo of the end result:

Here’s to everyone having a wonderful Fourth of July! I hope you have time to celebrate and maybe even see some fireworks!
Cheers!!
