How to make a Blue Lagoon mocktail?

The Ingredients

Curacao syrup. It's made from Curacao, a fruit from the Laraha fruit.  It’s a sweet orange-flavored syrup that has a vibrant blue color. Besides this popular blue color, this curacao syrup is also available in various colors like pink and yellow.

You may get them under beverages curacao syrup in any grocery store(specifically in the beverage aisle). If blue curaçao syrup is unavailable, you can substitute it with blue food coloring but note that this substitution won't provide the same citrusy flavor as the syrup.

Lemonade: Its citrusy flavor provides a nice balance to the sweetness of the blue curaçao syrup. You can substitute the lemonade with limeade or orange juice with a different citrus flavor. Each substitution will bring its unique twist to the mocktail, allowing you to customize it to your taste preferences. You can also make it from scratch with homemade lemonade(with fresh lemon juice).

Soda water or club soda: Soda water or club soda adds a fizzy and bubblyness to the Blue Lagoon Mocktail. You can use sparkling water, lemon-lime soda, or ginger ale.

Lemon slices for garnish: If you prefer a different fruit garnish, use orange or fresh berries like blueberries or strawberries. These options will make the mocktail exciting with bright colors and fruity flavors. I have used dried lemon slices.

Ice cubes: Using large ice cubes can help the drink stay colder longer without diluting it too quickly.

The Directions

Take your serving glasses and fill them up with ice cubes. 

Stir in the blue curaçao syrup and lemonade into a pitcher or large mixing glass.

Fill the glasses about two-thirds of the way.

Now, it's time to add some fizziness to your mocktail.

Top off each glass with soda water or club soda.

Your Blue Lagoon Mocktails are now ready to be enjoyed!

What to Serve with Blue Lagoon Mocktail?

Fresh Fruit Salad: A light and refreshing fruit salad complement the tropical flavors of the Blue Lagoon Mocktail. Chop your favorite fruits like watermelon, strawberries, pineapple, and kiwi. Serve it chilled for sweetness that pairs perfectly with the mocktail.

Coconut Shrimp: Enjoy the flavorful coconut shrimp as an appetizer or main course—the sweet and nutty coating pairs well with the tropical vibes of the Blue Lagoon Mocktail. 

Hawaiian Pizza:  The combination of salty ham, sweet pineapple, and tangy tomato sauce on a crispy crust perfectly complements the fruity flavors of the mocktail. 

Mango Salsa with Tortilla Chips: Create a refreshing, tangy mango salsa to serve with crispy chips. The sweet and zesty flavors of the mango salsa provide a lovely contrast to the Blue Lagoon Mocktail. It's the perfect appetizer to set the mood for your meal.

How to store?

In the refrigerator: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container.

In the freezer: Pour the mocktail into ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers. Leave some space at the top, as the liquid will expand when frozen.

To thaw: Remove the leftovers from the freezer and let the mocktail thaw naturally in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. Alternatively, place the frozen cubes or container in a bowl of cold water to melt more quickly.

To serve: Stir before serving to mix any separated ingredients. Serve your mocktail in a fresh glass with ice cubes and garnish as desired.
