I wonder if Old Mother Hubbard liked a cocktail? If she did, I know how she felt when her cupboard was bare! We had to go and stock up the liquor cabinet recently. There was no vodka, Bacardi or gin in this house. What a crime! You can tell I favour my clear spirits, can’t you?

After my mammoth effort sewing last week for the KCWC, a cocktail is definitely in order and will make a great start to the weekend.

This drink has a lurid blue colour and a great sweet and sour taste. It’s a bit of a girl’s drink, which just means that it tastes nice and can sneak up on you if you aren’t careful and have a few.

Blue Kamikaze
serves 1

1 shot Vodka
1 shot Blue Curacao
1 shot lime juice
ice cubes

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Shake well, then pour through a strainer into a tumbler filled with ice, or a martini glass if you’re feeling fancy.
