Fruity Sweet

Bluebird es un cóctel visualmente llamativo que combina gin con triple sec y curaçao azul para un doble golpe de licor de naranja, equilibrado con bitters y decorado con una cereza marrasquino y un twist de cáscara de limón. A 20.34% ABV, es un cóctel centrado en el espirituoso con un tono azul vívido del curaçao y un carácter dulce y cítrico.

History & Origins

Bluebird is a classic American cocktail that appears in mid-20th century cocktail guides, its striking blue color making it memorable in the visual culture of mid-century bar drinking. The origin of the recipe is disputed, though the use of blue curaçao for its color rather than a distinct flavor role was a common technique in cocktail creation from the post-Prohibition era onward. The name directly references its eye-catching color.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Gin's juniper and botanical notes, with sweet orange from the triple sec and blue curaçao, and a hint of citrus from the lemon peel garnish. Palate: Sweet orange and citrus flavors dominate, with the gin providing a botanical backbone; bitters add a complexity that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying. Finish: Medium-length, with a pleasantly dry, slightly bitter fade.

Pro Tip

Stir rather than shake to maintain the drink's visual clarity and vivid blue color, and garnish with the cherry and lemon twist together.
