About
The Blue Moon Cocktail is a beautifully simple gin sour made with Blue Curaçao and fresh lemon juice — three ingredients, nothing more. The gin's botanical character anchors the drink while the Blue Curaçao provides sweet orange citrus and that arresting blue color, all brightened by the tartness of fresh lemon. It is a cocktail in the purest sense: balanced, spirit-forward, and visually striking without relying on a long ingredient list. Often confused with other drinks sharing the name, this version is the gin-forward classic that deserves a place on any well-curated cocktail menu.
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add gin, Blue Curaçao, and fresh lemon juice.
- Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until well chilled.
- Double strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist.
