Sip On Paradise In A Glass: Blue Lagoon Cocktail Recipe

Imagine this: sun-kissed skin, turquoise waters lapping at your toes, and a cocktail so cool and refreshing it takes you straight to a tropical island. No need to book a flight because paradise is just a shaker (and a cheeky sip) away with this dreamy Blue Lagoon cocktail recipe.

Dive into Delight – What's a Blue Lagoon Drink?

Picture this: it's the middle of summer, your toes are digging into sun-warmed sand, and icy waves lap at the shore. You take a sip of your drink, and a burst of tangy citrus meets the smooth caress of vodka, all woven together in the most vibrant shade of ocean blue. That, friends, is the magic of the Blue Lagoon.

This iconic cocktail is a tropical treat fit for any occasion. Its refreshingly sweet-tart flavour and mesmerizing colour is enough to transport you to an island paradise, even if the closest you've been to sand lately is the cat litter tray (no judgment!). 

But what makes it so darn delicious? It's the perfect balance of vodka's kick, zesty citrus, and the velvety embrace of Skinny Mixes' Zero Sugar Lime Syrup. This sugar-free wonder adds a natural, limey punch without sabotaging your beach-bod goals. 

Now, let's dive into the good stuff – the recipe!

How To Make A Blue Lagoon Cocktail?

Ingredients (Makes 1 heavenly glass)

  • 50ml vodka (we like Smirnoff for its clean taste)
  • 15ml Blue Curaçao (the secret to that dreamy blue hue)
  • 25ml Skinny Mixes Zero Sugar Lime Syrup (your gateway to guilt-free paradise!)
  • 150ml lemonade (freshly squeezed for extra sunshine points, if you're feeling fancy)
  • Splash of soda water (optional, for a touch of fizz)
  • Ice cubes, plenty of 'em!
  • Lemon wedge, for a citrusy finishing touch

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Channel your inner mixologist: Fill a shaker with ice, then pour in the vodka, Skinny Mixes Zero Sugar Lime Syrup, Blue Curaçao, and lemonade. Shake it like you mean it (think Shakira, not a washing machine) for about 15 seconds, until it's nice and chilled.
  2. Strain the good stuff: Pour your masterpiece into a chilled hurricane glass (or any tall glass that tickles your fancy).
  3. Top it off: If you're feeling bubbly, add a splash of soda water for some extra lightheartedness.

4. Garnish with paradise: Finish it off with a lemon wedge, and voila! Your own private Blue Lagoon awaits.

FAQs: Your Blue Lagoon Questions Answered

  • Q: Can I make it non-alcoholic?

    • A: Absolutely! Ditch the vodka and top up with extra lemonade for a virgin Blue Lagoon that's just as refreshing.

  • Q: Can I use regular sugar syrup instead?

    • A: Sure, but where's the fun in that? Skinny Mixes Zero Sugar Lime Syrup gives you all the tang without the guilt, so you can sip on sunshine without the sugar blues.

  • Q: Is Blue Lagoon the same as Blue Curaçao?

    • No, Blue Lagoon and Blue Curaçao are not the same thing, even though they share the word "blue" and are involved in tropical cocktails. Here's the breakdown:

    • Blue Lagoon: This is a cocktail that typically combines vodka, blue curaçao, lemonade, and sometimes lime juice or soda water.
    • Blue Curaçao: This is a liqueur with a bright blue color and a sweet, orange-citrus flavor. It's made with the dried peel of the Laraha citrus fruit, native to the island of Curaçao.

    So, Blue Curaçao is an ingredient in the Blue Lagoon cocktail, but it's not the same drink
