OASIS


OASIS
2 measures gin
½ measure blue curacao
4 measures tonic water

 The captivating OASIS cocktail is a gin and tonic lovers little slice of paradise. It is a pretty cocktail that can be sipped during almost any activity and keep you smiling. The smile comes from the cocktail’s cool blue color and the fact that the OASIS is a breeze to make.


Just put the three ingredients above in the measurements above into a large cocktail glass filled with ice, stir, and garnish as you please. The recipe calls for a garnish of lemon and mint, and I imagine that would have enhanced the refreshing flavor of the OASIS even more. But the cocktail I made was still light, thirst quenching, and perfect for the patio. It had only a slightly different taste than a normal gin and tonic, but it is well worth adding that third ingredient of blue curacao. That’s what gives the OASIS that tangy, slightly sweet, flavor that will keep you hoping that you aren’t seeing a mirage.
