Blue Velvet
Deep plush textile
Blue Velvet is a cocktail typically made with vodka, blue curaçao, and cream or champagne, yielding a smooth, vivid blue drink.
The name also refers to David Lynch's 1986 film—a dark psychological thriller set in small-town America that became a touchstone of surrealist cinema.
In drug slang, blue velvet has referred to a mixture of paregoric and antihistamines used as a cheap high.
