Deep Blue Sea Martini

Gather the ingredients. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the vodka, sweet and sour mix, blue curaçao, and pineapple juice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Serve and enjoy! Tips: When shaken, pineapple juice creates a foam on top of the drink. Some people don't enjoy that—though it does settle after a few minutes—so you can also stir this martini. Sour mix is easy to find alongside other nonalcoholic mixers at liquor stores. You can save money and have more control over the flavor and ingredients by making fresh sour at home. Incredibly easy, it simply requires sugar, water, and lemon and lime juices. Recipe Variations: Substituting another orange liqueur for blue curaçao will lose the martini's color. The viable replacement that will work, however, is Hpnotiq. The pale blue liqueur is flavored with tropical fruits, so while it's not orange, it is a good pairing for this martini's flavor. This is just one of many blue martinis to mix up. For instance, using blue curaçao, you can go dry with the Sapphire martini's gin and dry vermouth, build on that by adding pear vodka for a Daphne martini, or take the sweeter route with peach schnapps in a Sapphire alpine.
