COCKTAIL RECIPE
Blue Lagoon
Blue Lagoon is a fresh, citrusy and bright blue cocktail made with vodka and blue orange liqueur combined with lemonade.
The Blue Lagoon cocktail is one of the modern and remarkable cocktails that emerged in Paris in the 1960s. The creation of this cocktail is associated with bartender Andy MacElhone, who worked at the famous Harry's New York Bar in Paris. This bar is known as one of the places where many important recipes of cocktail history originated.
The most striking feature of Blue Lagoon is its bright blue color. This color comes from the Blue Curacao liqueur, which is made from orange peels but made blue with special colorants. This drink is considered one of the most visually striking ingredients in the cocktail world.
