Fishbone Instructions
The Fishbone cocktail is a unique and refreshing drink that is perfect for summer parties or gatherings with friends. This cocktail gets its name from its vibrant blue color, which is reminiscent of the scales on a fish's back. With a combination of citrus and herbal flavors, the Fishbone cocktail is a delight to the taste buds.
To make a Fishbone cocktail, start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice. Add two ounces of vodka and half an ounce of blue curacao. Blue curacao is a liqueur that is made from the dried peel of the laraha citrus fruit, which is native to the island of Curaçao. It has a distinct blue color and a slightly bitter orange flavor.
Next, add half an ounce of elderflower liqueur to the shaker. Elderflower liqueur is made from the flowers of the elderberry shrub and has a delicate floral flavor. The elderflower complements the citrus flavors of the vodka and blue curacao, giving the Fishbone cocktail a unique and refreshing taste.
Squeeze the juice of one lime into the shaker to add a tangy and zesty element to the cocktail. Lime juice pairs perfectly with the citrus and floral flavors of the other ingredients, balancing out the sweetness and giving the Fishbone cocktail a refreshing and tart flavor profile.
Finally, shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine all the flavors and chill the cocktail. Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a lime wedge or a sprig of fresh mint. The bright blue color of the Fishbone cocktail is sure to impress your guests, making it a visually stunning addition to any gathering.
The Fishbone cocktail is a delicious and visually striking drink that is perfect for any occasion. Its blend of citrus, herbal, and floral flavors creates a refreshing and unique taste that is sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So, next time you're looking for a cocktail that stands out from the crowd, give the Fishbone a try!
