Blue Lagoon Drink

The original blue lagoon drink recipe is said to have been invented at Harry's New York Bar, and that too by his son. This popular bar drink has been around for years with many bars coming up their own variations. During summer holidays or after a long, hard day at work, a cold drink can be really soothing and a beer just won't be enough.

Why not try making the drink with the help of these following recipes. As these recipes have minor changes (that you can spot), the idea is to alter the taste, making it less or more bitter, depending on how would prefer it. Try making them all and see which recipe suits you best.

Ingredients

• Vodka, 2 oz.
• Blue Curaçao, 1 oz.
• Lemonade
• Ice
• Cherry, for garnish

Procedure
In a highball glass, add ice in the bottom (quantity depends on you). Pour in the vodka and Blue Curaçao over the ice. Now fill the glass with lemonade and mix all the ingredients properly. Put a cherry on top for garnish and serve chilled.

Ingredients

• José Cuervo, 1¼ oz.
• Blue Curaçao liqueur, ¾ oz.
• 7-Up soda, 1 splash
• Lime juice, 1 splash
• Pineapple juice
• Ice cubes

Procedure
Take a cocktail shaker and pour the Blue Curaçao, José Cuervo, 7-Up, and lime juice in it. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and the pineapple juice now. Close the cocktail shaker and mix vigorously. Strain the beverage into a margarita glass with ¼ of it filled with ice cubes. Serve immediately.

Ingredients

• Tequila (your choice of brand), 3 oz.
• Lime juice or lemonade, 2 oz.
• Blue Curaçao (your choice of brand), 1 oz.
• Ice cubes

Procedure
In a blender, pour the tequila, Blue Curaçao, and lime juice over the cup of ice. 

Turn the blender to high speed and blend the ingredients for few seconds till the ice turns into a thick Slurpee. In a margarita glass, run a wedge of lime around the edges of the glass. Pour some table salt in a small plate and dip the glass in it. Pour the drink into the margarita glass and enjoy.

The quantities for the ingredients mentioned are for one drink. If you're preparing the drink for more than 1 person, just increase the quantity according to the number of people.

• Instead of serving the drinks in a highball glass, serve in unusually shaped drinking glasses. Place the drinks on colorful coasters.
• Give the glasses a frosted edge as you dip the rim in lemon juice and then in refined sugar.

• You can also add some colorful decorations to finish the overall look for the drink, such as drink umbrellas, paper flowers, sparklers, and colored swizzle sticks.
• Instead of putting big chunks of ice cubes, substitute crushed ice. The appearance of the drink from outside the glass will be fantastic.

• To finish the garnished look, add cocktail sticks to twist or skewer fruits so that it stays on the rim of the glass.

You can definitely increase or decrease the quantity of alcohol for the drink. Enjoying this drink to the fullest means making it one of your own and adding your own unique twist to it. Have fun!
