Blue Lagoon Cocktail Recipe


  • Author: Jessica
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

  • 🧊 Ice cubes – fill your glass halfway

  • 🍋 1 oz fresh lemon juice – provides the citrus kick

  • 💙 1 oz blue curaçao – vibrant color and orange flavor

  • 🍸 1.5 oz vodka – smooth and clean base spirit

  • 🥤 4 oz lemon-lime soda or lemonade – to top and add fizz or tang

  • 🍒 Maraschino cherry – garnish (optional but classic)

  • 🍋 Lemon slice or wheel – garnish (optional)

Optional: a splash of simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.


Instructions

Step 1:
Fill a highball or hurricane glass with fresh ice cubes—about halfway full.

Step 2:
In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, blue curaçao, and fresh lemon juice. Add a few ice cubes and shake for 10–15 seconds to chill and mix.

Step 3:
Strain the mixture over the ice-filled glass.

Step 4:
Top with lemon-lime soda for fizz or lemonade for a tangier version. Gently stir to combine.

Step 5:
Garnish with a lemon slice or wheel on the rim and drop in a maraschino cherry for that iconic look.

Step 6:
Serve immediately and enjoy your icy, electric-blue escape!

Notes

These cocktails are easy and forgiving, but a few details can make a big difference:

  • Use fresh lemon juice for brightness—bottled lemon juice can make the drink taste flat.

  • Chill your glass beforehand to keep your cocktail colder longer.

  • Adjust sweetness to taste. Add simple syrup if needed, or cut it with soda water for a lighter drink.

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
