Blue Daydream

The Blue Daydream is admittedly more green than blue, but it’s striking both in presentation and flavor. It’s the creation of Sean Paddock at The Oliver in Kansas City, where it’s served with the brunch menu.

The star ingredient here isn’t a spirit – it’s the citrus-packed magic of oleo saccharum. Paddock’s recipe calls for orange-peel oleo saccharum, but we’ve had great success with our standard house blend of lemon and orange peels.

Shake all ingredients with ice, and strain into an ice-filled snifter, goblet, or tall glass. Garnish with a slice of lemon or orange and serve with a straw.
