The Blue Lagoon drink is half sweet, half-sour, and 100% refreshing.  Best of all it is EASY to make with only 3 ingredients. No fancy equipment required either!

I love bright-colored summer cocktails like blue margaritas, this Fish Bowl Drink, and of course this blue lagoon drink. If you want an absolutely perfect drink for summer, look no further! The cocktail is stunning, easy and so refreshing. 

It is similar to the blue Hawaiian except it uses lemonade instead of pineapple juice and vodka instead of rum. It has a sweet and sour citrus flavor you're going to love! Its blue color also makes it perfect for summer BBQs, for Memorial Day, or the 4th of July.

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips

bottles of lemonade, drillaud blue curacao, and tito's vodka on a wooden table.
  1. Vodka: Use a mid-level vodka that you like to drink. I like the brands Pinnacle or Tito's. You could even use a flavored vodka like orange, lemon, or even blueberry. Use Leftovers In: Chocolate Martinis, Sea Breeze, Cape Codder, or The Greyhound
  2. Blue Curacao:  It has a light orange flavor similar to Triple Sec. I like the brand Drillaud. It is found in the cordial section of the liquor store.  Use leftovers in our blue margaritas, sex in the driveway, Fish Bowl Cocktail, Madras, or a blue Hawaiian.
  3. Lemonade: Feel free to use homemade or store-bought. For store-bought, I like Simply Lemonade the best. You can also substitute freshly squeezed lemonade and simple syrup if desired.

FAQs

Can I Make It For a Crowd?

Yes, serve 8-10 people using a pitcher or punch bowl by following these measurements.

1 Cup Vodka
1 Cup Blue Curaçao
6–7 Cups Lemonade

Krystle's Tips and Tricks

  1. Up Your Ice Cube Game: Prevent a watered-down drink by using lemonade ice cubes instead. You can also make clear ice cubes by using distilled or boiled water.
  2. Chill your glasses to keep your cocktails ice cold.
  3. Adjust to Your Tastes: If your cocktail is too sour add a splash of simple syrup. If it is too sweet ad a bit more lemonade.

Measure Correctly

Easily measure your liquors use a shot glass. 1.5 Ounces=one shot. You can also use a spoon. 1 Ounce equals 2 tablespoons.

    1. Anyone make this as a punch? Do I use a full bottle of each vodka and curaçao?

      1. Krystle Smith says:

        Hi Corry,

        My rule of thumb for turning into a punch is to multiple the ingredients by the number of people you're serving.

    2. Such a fun summer drink... and perfect for parties too!

    10. What are the ingredients for a pitcher?

      1. Krystle Smith says:

        Hi Barb!

        Multiply the ingredients by the number of people you're trying to serve and that should do the trick.

      Had to come back and rate this recipe 5 stars! Me and my friends had a movie night last saturday and we saw this recipe of yours. It had the perfect mix between sweet and sour. Alcohol wise, its really right in the balance and not too strong. From now on we'll be visiting your blog every time we have a movie night for more recipes. Thank you!
