Cerulean Sour
This gin sour is incredibly blue! Using blue spirulina and a float of butterfly pea-infused gin, the color takes this fairly simple drink to the next level.

Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Cocktail strainers (optionally two strainers)
- Serving glass (I used a large coupe)
Ingredients
- 1 oz lime juice freshly squeezed
- ⅛ teaspoon blue spirulina powder
- 1 oz clear gin
- 1 oz simple syrup
- 2 dashes lemon bitters
- ½ oz purple gin Empress, or your own butterfly pea-infused spirit
Instructions
- Mix together the lime juice and blue spirulina powder until the powder is fully dissolved.
- Add the gin, simple syrup and lemon bitters.
- If you are using ice, add it to your serving glass. If not, chill your serving glass with a slush of water and ice.
- Shake the drink mixture with ice, about 15-20 shakes.
- Strain into your serving glass.
- Measure the purple gin into a jigger. Slowly pour the gin onto the bar spoon, held over the top of the glass, so that the gin forms a darker layer on the top of the drink.
- Serve immediately.
