This drink is named for its swirling appearance, reminiscent of an oil spill, created by the layered and mixed hues of blue and dark brown. The Blue Curacao provides a vibrant blue color and a hint of citrus, while the Jagermeister, with its complex herbal notes, adds depth and intensity. The Peppermint Liqueur introduces a refreshing minty coolness, balancing the drink with its crisp and invigorating flavor.
