Equipment

<ul class="equipment-main-list"> <li class="equipment-single-item">Cocktail shaker</li> <li class="equipment-single-item">Hurricane or highball glass</li> <li class="equipment-single-item">Bar spoon</li> <li class="equipment-single-item">Cocktail skewer or pick</li> </ul>

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4> Begin by chilling your hurricane or highball glass with ice water for about 30 seconds, then discard the water. This crucial first step ensures your mocktail stays refreshingly cold longer and enhances the overall drinking experience. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4> Fill your glass about halfway with crushed ice. Using crushed rather than cubed ice creates more surface area for chilling and slightly dilutes the mocktail to perfect balance as you drink it. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4> In your cocktail shaker, combine the blue curaçao syrup, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup with a handful of ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds – you should feel the shaker become frosty cold on the outside, indicating proper chilling and aeration. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4> Strain the mixture into your prepared glass over the crushed ice. The brilliant blue should cascade beautifully over the ice, creating a visually stunning effect. Take care to pour slowly to maintain the clarity of the liquid. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4> Gently top up with lemonade or sprite – pour slowly down the side of the glass using a bar spoon to preserve carbonation and avoid overflow. The perfect pour will leave about 1cm of space at the top of your glass. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4> Stir very gently with your bar spoon, using just 2-3 rotations to combine the layers without losing carbonation. You should see a beautiful gradient of blue from bottom to top if done correctly. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4> Garnish with an orange slice on the rim of the glass, and add a skewered maraschino cherry and pineapple chunk (if using) across the top. The bright colors of these garnishes create a striking contrast against the vibrant blue of the mocktail. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4> Serve immediately while the carbonation is at its peak and the glass has a beautiful frosty appearance. The first sip should deliver a perfect harmony of sweetness, tanginess, and refreshing bubbles. </li> </ol>

The vibrant blue drink takes just 5 minutes to prepare and requires no special bartending skills.

Can I make this blue tropical drink without artificial colours?

Yes! For a natural alternative, use butterfly pea flower tea which turns naturally blue when brewed. Add a splash of lemon juice for brightness, and sweeten with simple syrup. The colour won't be as electric, but it offers a beautiful indigo hue without artificial ingredients.

What's the best non-alcoholic substitute for blue curaçao in mocktails?

The best substitute is blue curaçao syrup specifically made for mocktails. Alternatively, use blue raspberry syrup with a dash of orange extract to mimic the citrus notes. For a fully natural option, butterfly pea flower tea with orange essence provides a similar flavour profile.

How do I achieve the perfect fizz in layered mocktails?

For perfect fizz, ensure your carbonated ingredients (lemonade/sprite) are ice-cold, pour gently down the side of the glass using a bar spoon, stir minimally (2-3 rotations only), and serve immediately. Adding carbonated elements last prevents premature loss of bubbles.
