The lights that don't stop

The traffic light is probably one of my favourite drinks in the world. I was in Cuba the end of January, I couldn't find a drink that I wanted to drink for the rest of the time. So I asked to bartender to make me a surprise drink and he came up with the Traffic Light. Now let me tell you this was probably the best thing ever, I drank the traffic light till it wasn't possible to drink anymore.


When I came back to Canada I was determined to recreate the traffic light.  It took a while to make but I think it finally got it! This will take patience and whatever you do DO NOT stir the drink… it turns the brown colour and just to be perfectly honest not very appetizing.

Recipe
*you will need a tall skinny glass (works easier)
-This is the most important step you must be careful

  • Mix together blue curacao and vodka.
  •  Fill the cup with any orange coloured juice. (I prefer orange juice)
  • Poor the mix (of vodka and blue curacao) into the cup 1/3 full. It works best if you have a bottle and a long spout. But a turkey baster works fine! MAKE SURE YOU ARE POURING IT INTO THE BOTTOM !
  • Add grenadine to the top and voila your traffic light is complete!

Now it took me about 3 tries to perfect this magic but either way messing up still tastes great.
whats your favourite drink?
