Blue Monday

I like the classic 80's lines of this drink--like a Lamborghini Countach. It is bright and angular. It's also powerful. The Blue Monday says "I don't care if my drink tastes like orange, it still looks blue." And sometimes having a drink that screams for attention from across the bar is exactly what you want.

When I made this for a restaurant worker after his shift, it really turned heads. So this is definitely the drink to order when you want to be noticed.

• 2 oz. vodka
• 1 oz. Cointreau
• 1/2 oz. blue curacao

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
