I've got the Blues

I went to a place called Cafe Retro near Waseda with some friends for happy hour (50% off drinks! yes, please!). 

Some of the names on the menu were standard funny: 
-Angel Wind
-Angel Kiss
-Sidecar (is the color of a slug after you step on it)

And then there were the BLUES
-童貞Blues
-Virgin Blues
-Marriage Blues
-Maternity Blues

童貞 (Doutei) is a male virgin. How this is different from "virgin blues," I'm not exactly sure. Especially since none of these drinks came with descriptions of the actual drink. We didn't get around to ordering virgin blues. One of my friends ordered doutei blues and another got maternity blues. I'm pretty sure the waitress was blushing 100x more than the guys actually ordering them. 

Quick question: Who makes a drink called MATERNITY blues? 
Also, why were the "blues" drinks all RED? (see below)
