Blue Train Cocktail Recipe & Tutorial
Have you ever heard of a cocktail that outdates the ingredients it is made from ?
" Blue Train "
History of this cocktail
The Blue Train was invented in 1935 as it appeared in Old Mr.Boston DeLuxe’s Official Bartender’s Guide.
Surprisingly, one of this cocktail’s main ingredients being the Blue Curacao, was not yet invented when this cocktail first appeared.
The other ingredients that we will be using are Gin, Lemon Juice & Triple Sec.

When should you use crushed ice
There is certainly not a specific answer, since cocktails have a lot of personal preference that go into them. You could go with either regular ice cubes or crushed ice or any cool ice cubes from your favorite molds !
For us, we use crushed ice with most cocktails that have a beautiful bright color as we think it complements their texture and sometimes even their taste.
We would advise you try the Blue Train with crushed ice & you will love it ! As far as how you could make them, there’s plenty of ways ranging from electrical machines, to manual ice crusher machines all the way to cracking them with your bare hands.
