Blue Lagoon Cocktail is a sweet, bright blue drink that’s made with 3 ingredients before being dressed up with garnishes and luster dust! A fun and simple drink that’s great for sipping poolside!
This fun, summer sip gets its vibrant color from the blue Curaçao liqueur! For more blue cocktails check out my Blue Hawaiian and Fairy Pool Cocktail!
This Blue Lagoon Cocktail is the perfect drink for those who love a good vodka lemonade! Though this drink does tend to be sweeter thanks to the blue curacao.
The combination of the fancy glass, luster dust, and fruit garnishes make this a really fun drink choice! Don’t worry though – it’s still incredibly simple to make!
It takes just two minutes or less to stir it up, add the luster dust, and garnish! Making it super easy to make seconds or even thirds since you’ll find this drink goes down quick!
Blue Lagoon Ingredients
Making this Blue Lagoon Cocktail Recipe is as easy as simply stirring together three ingredients! To make a cocktail you’ll need vodka, blue curacao, and lemonade.
I usually grab a bottle of lemonade from the store for convenience. However, feel free to mix up your favorite homemade lemonade recipe to use in this cocktail if you’d like!
The ingredients are then poured over ice in your choice of single-serve glass. I like using a highball or hurricane glass for this cocktail, making them a little fancier!
Blue luster dust is then mixed into the cocktail, giving the drink its pretty shimmery appearance! I garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a maraschino cherry to finish it off.
How To Make A Blue Lagoon Drink
- Add ice to your highball or hurricane glass.
- Pour in the lemonade, vodka, and blue curacao. Stir the mixture to combine.
- Stir in the luster dust and garnish with your choice of fruit!
