The Blue Ghost is a cocktail I put together to celebrate the launch of Blue Ghost Mission 1.
It is a variation on a Moonlight which is already a variation on an Aviation. Doesn't get much more thematically appropriate than that!
The easiest way to create a blue-colored drink is to use Blue Curacao, but WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN BLUE CURACAO IN MY KITCHEN. We've evolved beyond. Instead we'll use Cointreau for our citrus notes.
Our liquid bipropellant consists of a London Dry Gin for the fuel and a floral Creme de Violette Liqueur for the oxidizer. The violette liqueur also provides the drink its ghastly blue-ish purple color, perfect for a blue ghost.
I toyed with adding blue food coloring to the mixture to make the drink's resemblance to its namesake even more striking, but it makes the cocktail appear sweet. Like Powerade. This is a very boozy cocktail, so the disconnect between what your eyes see and what your nose and mouth experience is jarring. All the more reason to not use Blue Curacao.
The added citrus from the lime juice & lemon juice elevate the floral liqueur and soften the strong taste of the gin. The orange zest is our engine plume!
I threw in a little ginger ale to neutralize the heavy citrus flavors and add some bubble to the drink. Normally you wouldn't want any bubbles in your spacecraft fluid lines, but the goal here is to make a drink that's palatable to all, and at a certain point creative liberties have to be taken! Call it a gaseous Nitrogen purge if you're married to the theme.

This is a strong drink, meant to be nursed. If the moon is out, stare at it longingly while you take a sip.
Enjoy responsibly. Ad lunam.
My best friend has brought this drink up offhanded conversation for the better part of a decade, so I finally tried some to placate him. I'll begrudgingly admit... it's delicious. Tastes like a root beer float but with Pepsi and even less effort.

Please note that this is a drink meant to be chugged, not sipped. If the components stay mixed for more than a minute or so, the acid in the Pepsi will begin to curdle the milk foam, forming an unappetizing Pangrea.

This is a recipe that has hitchhiked a long way, and I hope by sharing it with you it'll continue to spread and bring people joy! I got this from my close college friend, who got it from his wife, who got it from her sister, who got it from her mom. I've brought this dish to many potlucks and many soup parties, and I ALWAYS go home with an empty bowl.

A DCOM twist on a culinary classic. While the dish itself remains unchanged, the aesthetic experience is elevated by the inimitable ouevre of one Corbin Bleu Reivers. Turns out Bleu is his middle name and not his last name? crazy work To sample this divine undertaking, you must simply make Chicken Cordon Bleu while watching Corbin Blue movie(s) the entire time. From pre-heat to meat eat. My personal choice of flick would always be Jump In!, on the basis of the movie's indisputibale quality and its perfect 85 minute runtime for this undertaking. This recipe was always my go-to back when I could eat ham, but if you have a CCB recipe you prefer, go wild. It's what Corbin would want. |
