Blue Lagoon Drink - Amaretto, Rum, Lime, and Blue Curacao


	Blue Lagoon Drink Amaretto, Lime, Rum and Blue Curacao This blue lagoon drink is one of those Italian drinks that although has amaretto - it's not a sweeter drink. That's most likely because rum is the dominant ingredient. I LOVE the color of this drink! The big key, FOLLOW the recipe ingredients. And definitely use a white/colorless rum. I can palette this drink before dinner. It's not overly sweet unless you substitute Malibu Rum. Many of my amaretto drink recipes are sweeter, and I just can't enjoy them before dinner. So if you want it sweeter - see the substitution section below. You could probably creative here and there with this recipe. But the main thing to look out for is your creative spirit spiraling out of control and the color of this becomes seaweed green and not blue lagoon. Enjoy! While you are here the list of the other Italian drinks that I make. They are listed down below. Thanks for stopping by and check out my home page too - Italian dessert recipes. Enjoy your drink! Lisa Blue Lagoon Drink YIELD: 1 Serving Ingredients: * 1 oz white rum ( you can use Malibu) * 1/2 oz amaretto * 1/2 oz blue curacao * 1/2 oz fresh lime juice Procedure * Mix * Strain * Pour and serve Why white or clear rum? Only because a colored rum will get you a gross colored drink. The color of this is gorgeous - so be true to the recipe for the rum Does it have to be blue curacao? Pretty much. Don't substitute Gran Marnier!!! Yes, they are similar - one is made from the orange peels -the other is a distilled orange liqueur - BUT it's about the color. The Gran Marnier will totally make this look vomit green. Want this a little sweeter? Add some pineapple juice. Or add some orange juice. But drinker beware - adding these will change the color of your blue lagoon. Back to the top of the blue lagoon drink.

Ok, not MASSIVE amounts. But I do have to finish off the evening meal with a little sweet something. When I was a kid my health conscience mother would ration my Halloween candy. Her mantra was, "white sugar will kill you". But my Italian grandma always told me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." :-) So, to get my October Halloween sugar fix I will make the traditional Italian cookie recipe, Venetian Bones of the Dead. Italians make these for the Day of the Dead on November 2nd. So - hey, our holiday in America - Halloween is the closest. So - while the neighborhood is slamming down a bunch of gross mass produced candy on October 31st, I'll have a real goodie. Oh yeah, I'll have to post it too! (Eventually!) You know how it is. Work. Kids. Clean. Cook. I'll see if Bones Of The Dead is in my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. Most of the recipes on my site came from her influence. If they aren't in her file - then I got them from her friends. And the remainder I experimented with adapting her style. I hope she looks down and smiles this Halloween.
