Blue Daiquiri

A vibrant and eye-catching twist on a classic, the Blue Daiquiri is a sweet, tangy, and undeniably fun tropical cocktail. Its stunning azure hue comes from Blue Curaçao, which adds a delightful hint of orange to the classic rum and lime combination.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Light Rum
  • 1 oz Blue Curaçao Liqueur
  • 1 oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
  • Garnish: Orange Twist or Lime Wheel

Instructions

  1. Chill Your Glass: For the best experience, chill a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the light rum, Blue Curaçao, and fresh lime juice to a cocktail shaker.
  3. Shake with Ice: Fill the shaker to the top with ice, seal it, and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker is ice-cold.
  4. Strain and Serve: Double-strain the bright blue mixture into your chilled coupe glass.
  5. Garnish: Garnish with an elegant orange twist or a thin lime wheel to complement the citrus flavors.

Pro Tips for Perfection

What is Blue Curaçao?: Don't be fooled by the color! Blue Curaçao is not a blueberry or exotic fruit flavor. It is an orange liqueur, similar to Triple Sec or Cointreau, that has simply been colored blue. It provides the sweetness and citrus notes that balance the cocktail.

Blue Daiquiri vs. Blue Hawaiian: These two are often confused. A Blue Daiquiri is a simple sour cocktail (rum, blue curaçao, lime). A Blue Hawaiian is a more complex tiki-style drink that adds pineapple juice and cream of coconut, making it a blue version of a Piña Colada.
