It's Noon Somewhere...The Heisenberg

Sunday is the finale of Breaking Bad.  I have a complicated relationship with this show.  K and I are very bad telly watchers,  it took us about 2 years to watch The Wire and now we are slowly making it through The West Wing.  When I watch TV alone, I like to watch trashy stuff like ALL of the Real Housewives and anything else on Bravo (I love you, Andy Cohen!).  But K only likes to watch one show at a time.  After we finished The Wire, we decided to watch Breaking Bad, but K didn't really dig the first season.  I did, so I watched it alone and now we are watching the final season together (K can't stand not to be part of the zeitgeist!).  I think that Walt is a fantastic, fascinating character.  But I find many of the other characters less fleshed out and a little one note.  However, the plot twists and turns are riveting and perfectly paced and I think most of the scripts are pretty solid.  Overall, I like it but I can't say that I love it.   It is a fun and good show, but I can't get behind the people that call it the best show EVER; I don't think it has enough to say and the rewatchability isn't there for me.  That said, I am excited for the finale and can't wait to see how it all turns out.

Since I love a good themed drink.  I wanted to make a blue drink for the finale in homage to Walt's best creation / worst enemy, his blue meth, and his best creation / worst enemy, his alter ego, Heisenberg.  This is basically a tiki drink thrown in a martini glass, and while it may not be a craft cocktail, it is tasty, fruity, and a little addictive (probably like the blue meth?).  K and I actually served this drink at our wedding under the name Midnight Liaison since we did signature drinks representing Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue.  Enjoy this fruity, cheap and cheerful cocktail on Sunday Night!

The Heisenberg

1 part blue curaco
1 part orange liqueur
4 parts lemonade
1/2 lime

Mix together in a shaker with ice.  Garnish with a lime or if you are feeling extra fun some blue rock crystal candy!

Drink too many of these and you just might break bad yourself.
