History
The classic recipe does not include blue curaçao, with its name referencing Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and not the colour. The photo of this cocktail has a distinct blue hue, so the recipe was adapted to fit both the image and its name. The original recipe includes: 1½ shots Bacardi Carta Ocho aged rum, ½ shot Ketel One Vodka, ½ shot Coffee liqueur, 1½ shots Freshly squeezed orange juice.
This cocktail is adapted from a recipe found in the 1977 edition of Stanley M. Jones' Jones' Complete Barguide. BLUE MOUNTAIN Served in a Cocktail Glass. Shake the ingredients: 1-1/2 oz dark rum 3/4 oz vodka 3/4 oz Tia Maria 1 oz orange juice
