Drink a Blue Elephant?
Our motto here at Pinot’s Palette is “PAINT, DRINK, HAVE FUN! Let’s be honest, the drink part has a lot to do with the fun part. Most people think of a bottle of wine or champagne when planning what to sip on while they are attending a painting class, but there is so much more! If you would like to change it up a little and add some more “fun” to the “drink” try pairing some of our beautiful paintings this month with it’s complementing libation!
“Dream Island” is a beautiful paradise sunset that would pair perfectly with the delicious, tropical Blue Hawaiian!

1 oz. Light Rum
1 oz. Blue Curacao Liqueur
2 oz. Pineapple Juice
1 oz. Coconut Cream
Place a slice of pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry for garnish.

“Sunset Lanterns” is a tranquil painting with glowing, floating Lotus flowers. The Red Lotus is a lychee flavored drink that pairs perfectly with this peaceful painting.
