I think the Blue Blazer problem is soluble.

I tried the Blue Blazer again, and it lit and poured just fine, so it's repeatable. And I made it with honey instead of sugar, and added a few dashes of Fee Brothers Orange bitters, and Angustora bitters.

I think, next time, I'm going to skip the Angustora, but it is really getting there. A MUCH better drink this time.

I'm also going to try Turbinado or Demerara sugar, too. That's what David Wondrich uses.

I put in a chunk of vodka, followed by splashes of cranberry juice, roses lime juice, and cointreau. Shake with ice. VIGOROUSLY. Strain and serve. With a cherry - but better is a slice of lime or orange.

*headdesk* I *knew* I should have bought vodka tonight.

You can use flavored vodka, too -- usually orange. Also, I tend to squeeze limes in, but Rose's also works. It depends how sweet you want it.
