Shake ingredients, strain over ice in a highball glass, and serve.

It's bright neon blue and kicks you hard
That's a lot of alcohol! Is that recipe for one or two drinks? Or more?

I have to admit to a love/hate relationship with Blue Curacao. On the one hand, I like the look of it, but then I think something with an orange flavour shouldn't be blue, somehow.

Or I think could just use food colouring myself. But then, I do love the colour blue and B.C. is an easy way to add a bit of blue to drinks and orange is a nice flavour, etc. I think Blue Lagoon is a nice cocktail - vodka, blue curacao and lemonade over ice. Mmmmm.....

Layered shooters seem a bit passé at times, but I like the look of blue curacao in them. Blue curacao with tequila on top, for example.

Speaking of layered drinks, I was looking for a good gravity chart for layering, but still haven't found one that is very extensive. Here's a start on one, has anyone found a more complete one?

Larger numbers are heavier and lighter numbers are lighter. Lighter will float on top of heavier and the larger the difference in number, the easier it is to layer.
