My husband is a fan of Sunday football, especially if he can watch the Ravens or Patriots play.  As we live in New England, quite often we don’t get to see the Baltimore game.

This past weekend it seemed that luck was on his side.  First, the Baltimore – New York game was being aired locally.  Second, returning from a trip, he was home by 1:15 and able to see most of the game.  Third, I had created a menu of munchies and a new cocktail for the occasion.

Sadly, the game did not go very well for the Ravens, and as such, our new cocktail was named, Sunday Blues.  With its brilliant blue color, the name was a perfect match.  A bit on the sweet side but light, it was the perfect beverage to sip or cry into.

Sunday Blues

2 oz. passion fruit rum

2 oz. coconut rum

2 oz. vodka

1 oz. blue curacao

4 oz. diet lemon-lime soda

Fill a shaker with ice.  Add both rums, vodka, and curacao.  Cover, and shake well.  Divide evenly among two martini glasses.  Top each with soda, and stir gently.  Garnish with lemon peel.
