The Blue Anejo takes the Añejo Highball's build and swaps in blue curaçao for orange, turning the same aged-rum-and-ginger-beer highball into something with a striking blue-to-amber color instead of amber-on-amber. Aged rum, lime juice, and a dash of bitters get shaken hard, then poured over ice into a glass topped with ginger beer, so the rum's caramel-oak character still leads even with curaçao's citrus sweetness riding along. It drinks nearly identical to its sibling in flavor - rum-forward, effervescent, easy - the difference is almost entirely visual, more blue lagoon than Dark 'n' Stormy. Garnished with orange and lime wheels, it's built for anyone who wants a highball that looks as fun as it tastes.
It is made the same way as the Añejo highball. Shake the rum, curaçao, lime juice, and bitters with ice, then strain into a glass half-filled with ginger beer over ice. Top with the remaining ginger beer and garnish with orange and lime wheels. Pour. Sip and Repeat.
