Why this recipe works
With vibrant blue colors and tropical vibes, this ocean water cocktail is a crowd-pleaser in both the looks and taste department. We’re always on the hunt for blue cocktails like our blue lagoon and blue mermaid because there’s something about that citrusy Caribbean blue Curaçao that makes you feel oh so good, plus they’re so pretty to look at.

Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions
LIQUEUR – You wouldn’t have that gorgeous blue ocean color without Blue Curaçao, so I would highly suggest keeping it in the recipe. Blue Curaçao has strong citrus notes as its made from the dried peel of the Caribbean bitter orange, laraha. You could substitute the coconut rum for regular white rum, but if you do, we’d suggest adding a touch of simple syrup to the cocktail as the coconut rum adds sweetness.
