BLUE SUEDE SHOES


BLUE SUEDE SHOES
½ ounce Jim Beam whiskey
½ ounce blue curacoa
3½ ounce lemon-lime soda
1½ ounce lemonade


The BLUE, BLUE, BLUE SUEDE SHOES cocktail was the cocktail of choice tonight in honor of the 35th anniversary of the death of the late, great Elvis Presley. “Blue Suede Shoes” was written by rockabilly great Carl Perkins and was one of Elvis’ first big hits. The BLUE SUEDE SHOES cocktail was a hit in my house tonight, starting with how effortlessly it was to make. I just put the ingredients above into a glass that was filled with ice, stirred and added a slice of lemon.
In my experience, a blue cocktail simply screams “fun” and I always gets an “Oh, it’s blue!” when I serve one to guests. The bright blue BLUE SUEDE SHOES cocktail is no exception. Like Elvis, it’s a bit flashy. It’s also tasty, thirst-quenching, and as soft and comfortable as a favorite pair of shoes. The lemonade and soda hide the Jim Beam well. In fact, whiskey-loving Hubby asked what was in the cocktail. If you are looking for a light, fun, cocktail, give this a try.

Drink one for the money, one for the show. Three to get ready, now go cat go.
