The Blue Lagoon is a vibrant, tropical-inspired cocktail known for its distinct bright blue colour and refreshing citrus taste. It is simple to prepare and makes for a visually appealing drink.
Ingredients
- 50 ml Vodka
- 25 ml Blue Curaçao liqueur
- 25 ml Freshly squeezed lemon juice (or lemonade for a sweeter version)

Instructions
- Fill a tall glass (such as a highball glass) with ice cubes to cool it down.
- In a cocktail shaker, add the vodka, blue curaçao, and lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.
- Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
- If you prefer a longer, lighter drink, top it up with a splash of soda water or lemonade.
