Update: Eiffel 65 singer Jeffery Jey has offered his reaction to the Flume flip. "I love it... He fit 'Blue' completely into his world," Jey told triple j Drive over Zoom. Watch the full chat below.
Cambozola is a delicious blend of the assertive flavor of blue cheese with the creamy richness of triple cream soft ripened cheese. Made in Germany with pasteurized cow's milk. Think Gorgonzola crossed with Camembert and you'll have a pretty good idea what this cheese is all about. Cambozola Blue Label is fantastic on a cheese plate, used in a salad, served alongside fresh fruit, or melted over a juicy burger. We think this is a great cheese for those who don't normally love blue cheese, it's creamy and tangy yet mild enough to be approachable. Consider this the gateway blue for any nonbelievers and a sure hit for die-hard blue cheese lovers. Serve with any fresh fruit for a perfect pairing. Enjoy with a glass of Pinot Noir or a rich porter or stout beer.
Take all your favourite flavours from a cheese board and turn them into a delicious grilled cheese or toastie. This triple cream blue brie, pear, prosciutto and hot honey toastie is extremely indulgent, sweet, salty and spicy.
As the real $10 note is mostly blue, I see Australian Ten Dollar Note Blue as the quintessential ink of the pack. The ink is a light, slightly dusty, Turquoise blue. To the eye it does a decent job of replicating the colour of the note.
Above is the new $10 note. As I said I think the ink does a very commendable job at replicating the colour. More difficult too is that there are multiple blues in the note. I ran a part of the blue section that is above the hat (on the first photo above) of the note through this average colour finder. Bellow is how Robert's Blue (averaged again) and the average of that portion of the note compare. Even here, it's a pretty decent job in my opinion.
Robert Oster Tranquility is the closest ink colour-wise though it is slightly greener and more vibrant. Diamine Aqua Lagoon and Bungubox June Bride Something Blue are both too blue and slightly too light. J. Herbin Emerald Of Chivor (note I didn't shake the bottle so no sparkles are present) is too dark and slightly too blue. Pelikan Edelstein Aquamarine is too dark, too blue, and too unsaturated.
On Tomoe River Pelikan Edelstein Aquamarine is closer and less dark but still too blue and unsaturated. Robert Oster Tranquility is still the closest but has more sheen than Australian Ten Dollar Note Teal. The rest are pretty similar to how they compared on Rhodia.
On Rhodia, Blackstone Daintree Green is a tad too blue and too dark. Diamine Meadow, and Bookbinder's Emerald Boa are too yellow and Emerald Boa is slightly less Vibrant. Diamine Golden Oasis is a closer hue but its still too yellow and not vibrant enough (and it has gold sparkles in it!). Robert Oster Light Green is actually very similar to Golden Oasis's hue and as such is a little to yellow but is also lighter than Australian Ten Dollar Note Green. Robert Oster Light Green seems closest here.
I think Rob's done a great job with the blue and I think the green and teal make sense. These aren't the type of colours that I personally love (that is that my taste in colours is for vibrancy and rich saturation rather than lighter less vibrant colours) but I do love that there's an ink based of the Australian $10 note that features a fountain pen nib. I'm also a big fan of the halos in these inks and for a light ink these are decently lubricated and with good flow. In my experience lighter inks are often dry so this is a welcome change!
This recipe creates a blue margarita that is served over the ice used in the shaker. That's not always the best approach because the ice in your drink is already broken down, so it dilutes faster. It works well for the blue margarita, but there are other ways to serve this (or any) margarita:
The name blue curaçao is also used with nonalcoholic syrups. Monin and Finest Call are two syrup brands that produce it; Monin is the top choice of the pair. These are not liqueurs but blue-colored, orange-flavored syrups often found in the mixer section at the liquor store. They're useful for creating blue mocktails and for those times when you want to cut some of the alcohol out of your cocktails.
There is no legal differentiation between blue curaçao and triple sec, and Cointreau is just one brand of triple sec. All are orange liqueurs. Curaçao can come in a variety of colors, of which blue is one. Triple sec is traditionally clear. While curaçao is said to originate from the Dutch Caribbean island of the same name, triple sec has its origins in France. (Triple sec literally translates to "triple dry," and it is indeed drier, or less sweet, than curaçao.) Curaçao is traditionally made from one very specific type of bitter orange, the laraha orange, which grows on the island of Curaçao; however, there is no legal requirement that this needs to be the case for a product to be called curaçao.
This blue margarita is made primarily of alcohol and, despite its alluring color, it is not a light drink. When made with 80-proof tequila and 60-proof curaçao, its alcohol content falls in the 23 percent ABV (46 proof) range. That's about half the strength of a straight shot of tequila, so it's best to take it easy with this cocktail.
