(The official drink of beauty pageant contestants everywhere)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz Bombay Sapphire® gin
• 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
• 1 splash elderflower syrup
• 2 drops Blue Curacao liqueur
• 2 drops almond syrup

Place all the liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well, and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with the white chocolate dove (or bird of choice).

A creation of master mixologist Jonathan Pogash for the World Bar opposite the United Nations in New York. Sells for $15.00 with 15% being donated directly to the UN's peace keeping efforts. A blue cocktail with the chocolate white dove of peace!

"We are using cocktail diplomacy to help bring about peace to an increasingly restless world." Mark Grossich, CEO of Hospitality Holdings.

Note:  Two sites that I use listed the date of recording as May 31st, two others listed it as June 1st. (noticed it after I wrote the post).  If the date is actually June 1st, please drink two World Peace Cocktails and do whatever you can in your life to promote World Peace (twice).
