CHEATERS BLUE MOON ICE CREAM



Cheaters Blue Moon Ice Cream image

Yes, I too, am on a quest for the "true" Blue moon ice cream.This is the non-"fruit loop" flavor version. This one also doesn't have crushed pineapple. But if your version of Blue Moon HAS to have it, by all means throw some in! I got this particular recipe off of a Blue Moon bulletin board and I have yet to try it... so good luck!

1/2 gallon of premium vanilla ice cream
2 ounces blue curacao
2 ounces white Creme de Cacao

THE REALTOR'S BLUE MOON ICE CREAM



The Realtor's Blue Moon Ice Cream image

There are many different theories about how this famous ice cream should be made. Nobody knows for sure because the recipe has always been secret. This is my version. I don't know if it's an exact duplicate but we love it this way. When you're finished, it should be sort of the color of smurfs so add food coloring until you acheive smurf blue. I use 40 drops. Splenda lovers- this will not turn out the same with splenda. I love it and sometimes I use it anyway but it does NOT give the same creamy consistency as regular sugar does. I don't know why but it just doesn't.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. For the blue curaçao, use a good-quality brand that is deep blue in color. For the vodka, use a smooth, unflavored vodka.
  • Make sure the ingredients are chilled. This will help the drink stay cold and refreshing. You can chill the ingredients by placing them in the refrigerator or freezer for a few hours before making the drink.
  • Use a cocktail shaker. This will help to mix the ingredients together evenly and create a smooth, frothy drink. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Garnish the drink with a lemon twist or orange slice. This will add a touch of flavor and color to the drink.

Conclusion:

The Blue Moon cocktail is a refreshing and easy-to-make drink that is perfect for any occasion. With its beautiful blue color and sweet, citrusy flavor, it is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive drink to serve, give the Blue Moon a try.
