Blue Lagoon Cocktail

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
This cocktail is the master of visual seduction. Blue Curaçao liqueur, made from the laraha citrus fruit, gives the iconic blue colour that evokes the water of tropical lagoons. Although it looks complicated, it is actually a boosted vodka lemonade, where the balance of acids and sugar is key.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Highball glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Measuring cup

Instructions

1 ✓

Fill the glass completely with ice.

Tip: Lots of ice melts slower, so it doesn't dilute the drink, just keeps it cold.
2 ✓

Pour the vodka and blue liqueur over it.

Tip: Alcohol density is lower than water, but here it will mix.
3 ✓

Top up with lemonade and stir with a long spoon.

Tip: Stirring ensures homogeneity of flavours.
4 ✓

Garnish with a lemon wheel.

Tip: The essential oils in the lemon peel prepare the taste perception with their scent.

Recipe FAQ

It turned out too sweet, what should I do?
Add more lemon juice. Acidity (citric acid) counteracts the sugar content of the liqueur and lemonade.
