After a couple you probably wont notice the colour - does it colour you pee & does your pee smell of seaweed

No it doesn't colour your pee I have spirulina in my smoothies for the vitamins, it doesn't taste or smell, it just doesn't look very appetising.

@Char " it just doesn't look very appetising. " my pee never does

Behave yourself.

Many, many years ago I bought a bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin which was on offer in duty free.

My disappointment on opening it once home and realising it wasn't blue........ &

[exile]

Just add a few drops of Blue Curacao liqueur.


I was once charged to invent a new cocktail. My instincts were that a cocktail should have flavour, should have colour and should last.

So for Flavour - Triple Sec
and since that has an orange flavour
For colour Blue Curacao also orangey flavoured
and to make it last.....
A double vodka.

Served over a lot of ice

Though I say it myself, it tasted very nice
But you would not want two!!

So, are algae the secret of the world’s greatest wine, Blue Nun? Made with algae and nun’s pee?

Years ago we went with some friends to a cocktail bar in Brighton. I'd never had a cocktail before and I don't know what it was called but it was lovely. It was red, green and white, looking a bit like traffic lights each liqueur layered on top of each other & of course with a couple of cherries Here our local Chinese restaurant does a lovely Blue Hawaiian cocktail.

Traditionally called a Pousse Café, there’s many variations.

@Meurette oooh thanks for that. I have some new unused martini glasses so will look up the recipe especially as I have a friend coming over very soon who loves cocktails

French brewer uses algae to make blue beer - I'm not sure I fancy drinking blue beer to be honest. https://www.france24.com/en/business/20 ... -blue-beer

We have a micro brewery near us that boasts it uses sea water. The beer is awful
