Cocktail Description
The Azure Boulevard captivates with its striking electric blue hue that belies a sophisticated and complex flavor profile.
This elegant cocktail balances the botanical punch of London Dry gin with the wine-based subtlety of Lillet Blanc, while blue curaçao adds citrus depth along with its dramatic color. A squeeze of fresh lemon provides necessary brightness, and the whisper of absinthe creates an aromatic complexity that lingers on the palate. Perfect for spring or summer evening gatherings when you want to impress without overwhelming your guests, the Azure Boulevard requires some bartending confidence but isn't particularly difficult to execute with the right ingredients on hand. The cocktail pairs beautifully with light seafood dishes—think oysters, scallops, or a delicate fish crudo—as its citrus notes complement the briny flavors while the herbal undertones create a harmonious contrast.
