Looking for a flavor-filled, blue highball with a cool visual effect and is fun to build? The Jellyfish is a great option. It has the appearance of a Caribbean-blue sea and white tendrils floating around that give the cocktail its marine-inspired name. To obtain the full effect of the drink you'll want to slowly pour the ingredients over one another, ending with a careful float of cream.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz vodka
  • 1 1/2 oz blue curacao
  • 1 1/2 oz white sambuca
  • 1/2 oz cream

Preparation:

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice and add vodka.
  2. Float the blue curacao slowly on top, trying to minimize the mixing of the liquids.
  3. Float the sambuca on top in the same manner
  4. Float the cream on the very top using the back of a barspoon.
  5. Stir delicately, but not too much to ruin the "jellyfish" effect.
