Recipe FAQ’s

Can I make a large batch of Blue Lagoon Mocktail for a party?

Yes, you can easily scale up the recipe to make a large batch. Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need and mix in a large pitcher. Add ice just before serving to keep it chilled.

Can I use blue curaçao liqueur instead of syrup?

For a mocktail version, it’s important to use blue curaçao syrup, which is non-alcoholic. The liqueur contains alcohol and would not be suitable for a non-alcoholic drink.

What other garnishes can I use besides lemon or orange slices?

You can get creative with garnishes! Edible flowers, pineapple slices, maraschino cherries, or even a cocktail umbrella can add a festive touch.

Is there a way to make this drink less sweet?

Yes, you can adjust the sweetness by reducing the amount of blue curaçao syrup or adding more coconut water. A splash of soda water can also balance the sweetness.

Can I add alcohol to this mocktail to make a cocktail version?

Absolutely! To turn this mocktail into a cocktail, add a shot of vodka or white rum to the mix. You can also use blue curaçao liqueur instead of syrup for an alcoholic version.

How do I store any leftover Blue Lagoon Mocktail?

If you have any leftover Blue Lagoon Mocktail, it’s best to store it in the refrigerator without ice. Pour the drink into a covered glass container to maintain its freshness. Consume within one day for the best flavor and color.

Tips for Success

To ensure the mocktail is as refreshing as possible, use chilled ingredients. This includes the blue curaçao syrup, lemonade, and coconut water. Keeping everything cold enhances the drink’s crispness.
Experiment with different garnishes like edible flowers, fresh citrus slices, maraschino cherries, pineapple slices, or a cocktail umbrella to add a fun and festive touch to your presentation.
Taste as you go to adjust the balance of flavors. If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of blue curaçao syrup, or add more of the lime juice and coconut water. For a sweeter version, add a bit more syrup or a splash of simple syrup.
