The Turquiose Lament

This cocktail is yet another of my creations which pays homage to the Travis McGee novels of American author John D. MacDonald. I really enjoy these books, and I love how the titles of these novels work out perfectly as names for great Tequila Cocktails.

The Turquoise Lament

2 oz Blanco Tequila
1 oz Bols Blue Curacao
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
1/4 oz Agave Syrup
ice
Soda
Lemon slice

Add the First four ingredients into a metal shaker with ice
Shake until the sides of the metal shaker frost
Strain into a cocktail glass
add a splash or two of soda
Garnish with a slice of lemon
Enjoy!
