Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Squeeze the juice from half a lime and add this to the glass. Add 45ml of vodka using a spirit measure.

Blue Lagoon: frequently asked questions

Where does the name Blue Lagoon come from?

The Blue Lagoon cocktail originally comes from America, and is named after a Jamaican lake; the Blue Lagoon (so-called, due to the colour of the lake).

Who invented the Blue Lagoon?

In all likelihood, it was Andy MacElhone, son of the famous bartender Harry MacElhorne, in "Harry's New York Bar" in Paris, France in the 1960s or early 1970s, who invented this cocktail. 

What does Blue Curaçao taste like?

This is a liqueur of 20% alcohol, with a vivid blue colour. The taste is fresh and citrusy.

Can I make Blue Lagoon even bluer?

By adding the Blue Curaçao at the very last moment, you can control how dark blue you make the cocktail.
