Blue Mermaid Cocktails

 

What girl doesn’t grow up wanting to be a mermaid? Daryl Hannah in Splash and Cher in Mermaids were childhood idols of mine. So this Blue Mermaid Cocktail – a fun twist on a Blue Lagoon cocktail – is an ode to them and youthful aspirations of the aquatic sort. Blue drinks are quite popular and perfect for poolside (or as a winter cocktail like our blended frostbite martini!)

Blue Drinks: How to Make a Mermaid Cocktail

This is a tropical blue cocktail, and like our pina colada recipe, is one of my favorite frilly mixed drink recipes. I had no idea that there was a drink called a Blue Lagoon that was similar, but having now tasted both of these blue drinks they will definitely be in high rotation this summer.

Among popular blue drinks is the Blue Lagoon cocktail which is 1 part vodka, 1 part Blue Curaçao, and 4 parts lemonade. It’s a fun, citrusy blue mixed drink that tastes like a lemonade with a slight orange tang.

My Blue Mermaid cocktail on the other hand, is 2 parts Blue Curaçao and 4 parts cream soda, resulting in a vanilla-citrus blue drink that has a slight ice cream shoppe nostalgia while being fresh and exciting. If you’re a creamsicle fan, but recipe will definitely hit the spot! Next on my list is the Blue Hawaiian!

• 2 oz Blue Curaçao liquor
