The present invention is directed to a method of preparing a blue-colored whiskey by mixing methylene blue, pure alcohol and distilled water. This process creates a staining solution and would allow the staining solution be aged in a cask prior to adding the whiskey into the cask. The stained cask colors the whiskey solution. This whiskey making method is designed to generate blue whiskey in which the color of the distillate is not directly altered. Further, this method provides a new way of presenting such beverages to potential customers in a pleasing way that could potentially enhance market share, and provides a new method to change beverages into new and unusual colors which may provide fun and additional marketing/branding opportunities.
