Blue Liquor Drink Ingredients
A full recipe card, including exact ingredient amounts, appears at the bottom of this post.
- blue curaçao – this liqueur provides the signature blue color and adds sweet tropical flavor.
- vodka – a clean, neutral flavored alcohol to give the drink some oomph. We liked this drink best with vodka, but we provide alternate options below.
- orange juice – adds a bit of sweetness. Squeeze it from a fresh orange if you can!
- lemon lime soda – brings the fizz and makes this drink an easy sipper. Lemonade is also nice here.
- orange peels and maraschino cherries – optional, for garnish. A cocktail umbrella is also always welcome.
How To Make Blue Cocktail Drinks
1. POUR. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour the curacao, vodka, orange juice and soda over the ice.
2. STIR AND SERVE. Stir everything together until icy cold, then pour over fresh ice cubes to serve.

Blue Colored Mix Drinks Home Chef Tips
- Have all of your ingredients chilled before making the drink to keep the blue cocktail cold for as long as possible.
- If you prefer a sweeter cocktail recipe, add a dash of simple syrup or agave nectar.
Variations Of Blue Beverages
- LIQUOR – If you don’t like vodka, you can make this with tequila. Gin, white rum and coconut rum also work pretty well!
- FRUIT JUICE – Not a fan of orange juice? Try an equal amount of fresh lemon juice or lime juice. Even pineapple juice works well.
- BLENDED – Blend everything together with ice in a blender until slushy, instead of serving this on the rocks.

I MAY have added a bit too much food coloring 😉
