Gin Cocktail: Big Blue Sexy

I think this is a really sexy cocktail which I came up with after sampling some Bols Blue cocktails made with Vodka. I liked the recipes just fine but it seemed to me that a little more zip and character could be imparted if the Bols Blue was paired with gin. So I got out a bottle of Empire Gin and started my exploration. Soon the Big Blue Sexy was born.

Big Blue Sexy
a cocktail by Chip Dykstra
aka Arctic Wolf

20 ml Bols Blue
50 ml London Dry Gin (I suggest Empire Gin)
30 ml fresh lemon Juice
4 large cubes of ice
Lemon/lime soda (7-up or Sprite)

Fill a long Collins glass with ice
Add the first three ingredients
Stir gently
Fill with Lemon Lime soda (Sprite or 7-Up)

Serve with a long straw

An optional garnish would be a slice of lemon or lime!
