Cocktail: Aqua Velva
It looks like Aqua Velva and is just as strong! Its minty fresh and definitely NOT a morning beverage. This cocktail is best served on the rocks.

Be sure when making an infusion with any liquor that you try to find the freshest, pesticide-free ingredients to ensure a delicious flavor in your beverage.

You'll need:
A spring of fresh organic mint
2 cups high quality vodka
1/4 oz of Blue Curacao

Place enough mint in the bottom of a mortar and pestle and grind with a tablespoon of vodka until it's a green pulp. Put the mint paste into a mason jar with vodka and refrigerate overnight, or over several days until the vodka is a greenish color. The longer yoou keep the mint in, the stronger the mint flavor will be. Filter out the leaves with a cheesecloth or tea strainer and keep the vodka refrigerated.

Serve several ounces of the green vodka with a splash of Blue Curacao over ice. Add soda water if desired. garnish with a nice sprig of fersh mint or an orange slice to compliment to Blue Curacao.

Answer 4

I was thinking the same thing man - I almost wanna say that the name was made up for the movie, because I've only seen two recipes, and they're the ones posted here. I don't know this for sure, just a guess.

If you're a fan of blue drinks try a "Blue Hawaii", link below. I haven't tried it myself cause I can't justify buying a bottle of blue curacao, even though it is pretty cheap, and I always forget to order one at the bar. I usually get scotch or something instead of an irridescent blue blender drink.

Anyhoo - I betcha this drink would be pretty good.

Great movie.

Hmm. When I was watching this it felt to me like it was an AMF! He said it was ridiculously strong and they got pretty tanked on them, and after a few AMFs that's definitely how you'll feel!...never heard of an Aqua Velva before, but for the record, here's how to make an AMF!


Ingredients:

* 1/2 oz Vodka
* 1/2 oz Rum
* 1/2 oz Tequila
* 1/2 oz Gin
* 1/2 oz Blue Curacao
* 2 oz Sour mix
* 2 oz 7-Up or Sprite

Mixing instructions:

Pour all ingredients except the 7-Up into a chilled glass filled with ice cubes. Top with Sprite or 7-up and stir gently.
