Looking for the perfect drink to cool down with on a hot summer day? Say hello to the blue lagoon cocktail, a vibrant, citrusy cocktail that tastes just as refreshing as it looks. With its stunning electric blue hue and sweet-tart flavor, it’s a tropical escape in a glass- no passport or RealID required.
Ingredients for blue lagoon
This easy-to-make cocktail combines three simple ingredients:
Vodka
Blue curacao
Lemonade
I’m on a lemonade kick this summer. I like to just sip on a glass in the afternoons or mix it into cocktails like this one or my blackberry bourbon lemonade. I also have a homemade lemonade recipe you can find here. My lemonade of choice if I don’t feel like making the homemade one is from my local grocery chain and it’s a “light” lemonade that doesn’t contain as much sugar.
When to Serve It:
Pool parties
Beach days
BBQs
Or just lounging in the backyard with your feet up
Whether you’re hosting friends or sipping solo, this drink brings a little vacation vibe to any occasion.
Bonus Tip:
Want to turn it into a blue lagoon slushie? Blend everything with ice for a frozen twist!
