About
The Blue Lagoon is a vivid, tropical cocktail that earns its name from its striking electric-blue color — a shade produced by blue curaçao that makes it one of the most visually arresting drinks in any bartender's repertoire. Made with vodka, blue curaçao, lime juice, and a splash of club soda, it tastes like a citrusy, lightly orange-flavored cooler with a playful sweetness that belies the presence of full-strength spirits. Created in the 1960s, the Blue Lagoon became enormously popular in the disco era and beach bar scene and has never lost its appeal as a fun, photogenic, crowd-pleasing cocktail.

- Add vodka, blue curaçao, and fresh lime juice to a cocktail shaker with ice.
