To summarise; it's totally delicious vodka!

I knew I had to create a cocktail that let the vodka flavour shine but with a little added Northern Lights magic!  We got down to some serious (loosely, science based) testing.........

We played with different methods of getting a burst of dancing colour into a drink.  I didn't want to use food colouring so turned to coloured liquors instead.  We used Galliano and Blue Curacao to give yellow and blue hues.  I also played with freezing ice cubes with the liquors in them to see in I could get the cubes to melt and create a coloured swirl throughout the drink.

The results didn't quite turn out as we planned!  The ice cubes watered the drink down too much and looked good for about 10 seconds only.  The mixture of Blue Curacao and Galliano together just tasted odd, although it gave the perfect pop of green to the drink.  In the end, I decided that flavour had to come before style.  I just don't have the heart to give you a recipe for a less than average drink, even if its pretty!  

After many nights of testing and lots of research I came across a cocktail that could be adapted to create the perfect drink for this delicious vodka;
