When I was a kid I loved sweet drinks and Kool Aid was regularly served at my house. Later on, when I grew up America got on this “health kick” and all of a sudden, Kool Aid and other powdery sugary drinks are bad for you. OK. Whatever! Good or bad is not the point of this discussion. The point of this discussion is the colors of drinks. Like, when I was a kid, there was no such thing as a green drink or a blue drink. If we saw a drink that color it was looked upon suspiciously. But now that almost everybody is into being health conscious and healthy drinks are the “right thing to do”, lots of people DRINK GREEN!! Still! Not too many people DRINK BLUE. ~ If you have had a blue or green drink (or both), what was it (what were they)? ~ What made the drink the color blue or the color green? ~ Do you drink it often or was it just a taste experience? If you have a recipe, feel free to share.

I don't know if it happens elsewhere but here, kerosene was coloured blue to try to prevent it being drunk. Nothing else was blue so if it was blue you didn't drink it.

Never heard of blue kerosene. Seems like the smell would stop a person from drinking it.

@cmoneyspinner You'd think so but anyway that's what I was told.

Mint and cilantro I don't mind. I can live with or without. But mint and cilantro are not my hubby's list of favorite herbs. So we don't have them in food or drink.

Since blue is my favorite color, so it is likely I will choose the blue drink. Besides, it is a rare color for a drink and it is very special.

I never tried any drink that is coloured blue, but then I can't recall ever seeing a blue drink. Think I'd have to try it though

Speaking of healthy drinks, I read that blueberry juice is a drink people should use for pain relief.

I'm always likely to drink the green one -- could be lemon lime flavored or a bunch of herbs blended together. I don't like to blue beverages. I'm rather suspicious of the coloring used.
