  • A worse version of an Aviator. If you really like lime you might like it better.
  • Untried
  • A lovely blue color...light and tasty for spring or summer.
  • Can't taste the gin. I don't like the Blue Moon much either. Prefer a Pegu or Aviation.

Good, but it needed a little more gin and some orange bitters to really bring it together.

Used Empress 1908 gin & dry curacao for a color explosion!
