There are a number of really great 2-ingredient cocktails out there, so I'm told. 

• Gin & Tonic:  Lovely.

• Rum & Coke: Safe and Inviting. 

• Red Bull & Vodka: Party Time. 

Let's add another one to the list that might turn some heads as you reach for that limited bottle of Yellow Chartreuse that your friends have been advised to steer away from unless they'd like to take the financial drop and buy you another one.

There's a wonderful write-up by this libation's creator, John DeBary that details the social implications of this combo. Such details include how folks might stick up their noses at the thought of using Gatorade, for instance, as an ingredient in a cocktail. My take is that if it tastes good, then what's stopping you?

Blue Gatorade (Cool Blue) on its own is a very one-sided beverage that's just kinda blue raspberry. It's sweet and it recharges my electrolytes: cool.

Adding Chartreuse to it adds a whole number of dimensions to it that somehow transform it into tasting something like a gummy worm or gummy bear. It's that nonspecific 'fruit' flavor (colloquially described as tasting like "blue") plus that 'I've been sitting in a plastic container for a while' vibe. 

This is not a negative description, as may be misconstrued. It tastes "RADICAL!" (he says in classic 90's style).
