Blue Moon

The Blue Moon is a classic cocktail that until recently has been near impossible to re-create, given the disappearance from the market of Creme Yvette. With the re-introduction of this classic liqueur, it can be enjoyed once again.

Recipe

• 2 oz gin
• 1/2 oz Creme Yvette or Creme de Violette
• 1/2 oz lemon juice

Shake and strain into cocktail glass.

Garnish with lemon twist.

Remarks

Using Creme Yvette results in a cocktail that is more reddish-purple; for a bluer cocktail, use Creme de Violette.
