Can't Miss It: Monday
If this sounds snarky and needlessly mean-spirited, just blame the Chinese. In any event, the marketing wizards at McCormick & Schmick decreed that there would be cocktails with an Olympics theme, so the "Red White & Blue Martini" came into being.
Fortunately, barman Darrin Bengston knows his specific gravities. Raspberry purée into the bottom, followed by a shaker of Stoli Vanil and Stoli Blueberi. Float an ounce of Blue Curaçao, and voilà! The blue settles midway down the glass. Tastes like an eight-dollar popsicle.
Fortunately, too, McCormick's still has its after-10 PM happy hour menu, tasty plates under $2.

Isn't there some sort of Beijing-inspired drink they could have chosen instead? The only thing that sounds good about this cocktail is the raspberry puree.
are you allowed to use the word "olympics" in that headline? did you pay someone off without my knowledge?
I vote for a cocktail glass of Sambuca set aflame, to honor the Games' birthplace and torch.
...But mostly I just like lighting things on fire.
further proof that the only reason blue curacao exists is that it is blue
