Are there any blue liquors that are "natually" blue, not blue by food coloring?

Asked by MyNewtBoobs (19059points) June 8th, 2011

Or is it that if a liquor store has something blue, there’s also some blue food dye in it?

Probably there is dye, it would say on the label.

Unless you are allergic I would not worry about the dye if you are only drinking it on rare occasions. There is dye in so many things.

@JLeslie I’m not worried, just incredibly curious.

I don’t know of any, not being into my liquor, but what does “natually” mean!
You could say you blue the spelling there ;¬}

@ucme It means I don’t want to get into some quibble about some liquor where the raw ingredients don’t bring blue, but the process turns it blue (like how butter and sugar will turn amber naturally if you make them into caramel), but someone decides this isn’t natural enough, so then it becomes a whole thing…

There is a winery (Earle Estates Meadery) in my area that produces blueberry wine.
They put it in a blue bottle but the wine is still a light pink color.

Hmmmm, I don’t think there is.

No, thus the taboo about blue food. It is not found in nature except from red cabbage.

The closest to blue and natural that I’ve seen is Three Olives Purple Vodka which is the only one that has a deeper color and makes a big deal about being all natural. It dilutes in mixed drinks to a blue color.

I just avoid drinking anything blue, it’s always a nasty flavor, too sweet I guess.

@cheebdragon See, I love blue margaritas. The extra orange somehow really makes it a proper margarita for me.

My favorite blue drink is the AMF, or Adios Mother Fucker. It’s similar to a long island iced tea, but with different liquors and curacao.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@Blackberry That sounds good, except for the 7-Up. I do love Long Island Iced Teas, although I’ve always been confused as to why it has coke and not iced tea in it.

Blackberry's avatar

@MyNewtBoobs Hey, I never thought of that, I’ll inquire as to why there is no tea.

Blue curacao is the only thing that comes to mind. But I think it is naturally clear.
dunno

Blue Ceracao (sp?) liquor? I have no idea…just a random guess!
