The Reflecting Pool Cocktail!

1. Yuck! That will taste terrible.

Absinthe is too complex of a flavor to mix with another liqueur (IMHO). And it is expensive. Too sophisticated to waste on a "swamp" drink.

Chartreuse tastes like dirty socks.

Creme de Menthe tastes pretty good, but doesn't scream swamp to me.

The only element that works for me is the blueberries.

I think Midori liqueur would be the proper base liquor. It is melon flavored, so a bit of a summery feel. I think it could be mixed with Mountain Dew. It might not taste delicious, but it shouldn't. It should be kind of swamp-like. BUT - first muddle some blueberries in the bottom of the glass.

And yes - I was a bartender for many years.
