“UV Blue is naturally flavored with vine-ripened raspberries for just the perfect touch of sweetness.”
The UV Blue mini (50 ml) is a clear plastic bottle with a black label showcasing an almost electric blue liquid. Oh my goodness! This stuff smells like a snow cone, woo woo! A sip doesn’t taste too bad either – I can taste the blue raspberry for sure. A burning blue raspberry, lol, although the fire isn’t bad so either this isn’t as strong as some of the things I’ve tried or I’m getting used to it??? Hee, hee…
Pouring it over ice in my rocks glass – look at me being all technical, I know what a rocks glass is now, yay! It’s actually very pretty. It’s not bad straight but today I’m going to add orange juice, here goes… watching the orange juice streak down to the bottom of the glass, winding it’s way through the ice reminds me of those sand pictures that you flip and the colored sand pours from the top to the bottom and makes fresh patterns every time. Stirring the mixture with a popsicle stick creates the most vibrant, granny apple green color. Huh, I’m beginning to understand the reluctance of that poor fellow in Green Eggs and Ham, ha, ha! Skipping to the end of the book and trying it I find I actually really like it. Raspberry orange juice with a little kick. Nice! I think this is another keeper.
Their website had some recipes that look fabulous:
Blue Frost
1 part UV Blue
1 part raspberry sherbet
1 part lemon-lime soda
Serve over ice in a lowball glass.
Berry White
1 part UV Blue
1 part creme de cacao
1 part triple sec
1 part lime juice
Shake with ice and strain into a martini glass.
Blue Velvet
2 parts UV Blue
2 parts pineapple juice
1 splash of grenadine
Serve over ice in a highball glass.
So this is a fun one, I’m enjoying it! Here’s my funny little analysis list:
Bottle Esthetics: Clear plastic bottle with a somewhat interesting label. At the top of the “Meh” category.
Scent: Sweet, exactly like a blue raspberry snow cone.
Viscosity: Water thin.
Taste: Blue raspberry and alcohol.
Versatility: This would be good in a lot of things, any fruity cocktail or fruit juice.
Overall Score 9 out of 10.
