Blue Oolong Vodka Cocktail
🌊 A Drunkard's Ocean Poem: The Elegant Micro-Tipsy Blend of Blue Cloud and Oolong Tea
This cocktail combines the pure fragrance of Oolong Tea with the crispness of vodka, creating a layered drink with a cloud-like texture. The visual inspiration for this cocktail comes from the contrast between the deep ocean and light mist. The base is composed of vodka, Blue Curaçao, and Grapefruit Syrup, presenting an enchanting blue hue. The subsequently poured Milky Mist Jin Xuan forms a soft, misty layer with its pale color and fresh tea aroma. The finished product offers the pleasant slight tipsiness of a cocktail while retaining the elegance and refreshment of tea.
1. Flavor Structure: Crispness, Sweet-Tartness, and Misty Tea Notes
Vodka: Serves as the spirit base, providing a clean, potent alcoholic core.
Blue Curaçao Syrup: Delivers the vivid blue color and sweetness.
Grapefruit Syrup: Added in a small amount to balance the sweetness of the Blue Curaçao and introduce a subtle fruit acid.
Milky Mist Jin Xuan: The natural milky aroma and gentle tea notes of Taiwanese Jin Xuan Tea are key to softening the intensity of the vodka.
2. Visuals and Texture: The Art of Layering
This cocktail utilizes the professional technique of density layering. The denser base (vodka, Blue Curaçao syrup) settles stably at the bottom. The lighter top layer (tea and water) forms a soft, cloudy white layer. This ensures that the flavor transitions smoothly from the sweet tea aroma to the robust spirit base during consumption.

🏷 Tips
Layering Key: Mixing the Milky Mist Jin Xuan and iced water reduces density. When pouring, use a spoon or pour slowly along the inner cup wall to ensure a clear blue-and-white separation.
Flavor Balance: The 2 ml of Grapefruit Syrup primarily serves to adjust the color and balance the sweetness of the Blue Curaçao.
Tea Choice: Jin Xuan Tea's natural milky aroma harmonizes perfectly with the Blue Curaçao; it is not recommended to substitute it with an overly robust tea base.
