The Blue Note

This relatively basic gin cocktail has had countless names and variations. We decided to sass it up with yet another name and these incredible guitar-shaped ice cubes. The trays were a recent gift from my two cousins and I wanted a good excuse to show them off. I added a little blue food coloring to the ice cubes to give this cocktail its new name.


The Blue Note
for 3 drinks

5 shots gin
1 1/2 shots simple syrup

several dashes of bitters
tonic water

- Combine all ingredients (minus tonic water) and shake.
- Pour into three lowball classes over rocks.

*Note, in the event you have these stunning guitar ice cubes, do not add additional ice. Pour into glasses, add tonic water, and use the guitar to stir.
