I had a close recipe to this just added garlic to it. my garlic turned blue. Does anybody know if that makes it bad?

Different spices in the vinegar will cause it to turn blue. It should be fine.

The iodine in salt is actually what causes garlic to turn blue; use non-iodized kosher, sea, or pickling salt to avoid the blue if it bothers you visually (although it's harmless). :-)
