Blue Lagoon Cocktail
Are you looking for an easy cocktail that is clear, crisp, and straightforward? Then, here is the blue lagoon cocktail for you. This cocktail turns vodka, blue curacao, and lemonade into a crisp drink that you would love to test.
According to reports, Andy MacElhone, the son of the famous bartender Harry MacElhone created Blue Lagoon at Harry’s New York bar. It is assumed that Andy MacElhone created this drink in the 1960s or early 1970s. Unfortunately, though, no one knows the exact date or year when it was created.
This cocktail has two versions. One is a blended version, and another one is a shaken version. The blended version was created by Andy Macelhone, but no one knows who created shaken version and when. Though because of the deliciousness and simplicity, the shaken version is more popular than the blended one which is the preferred way to make it from a hired mobile bar. We would talk about each version but first, let’s jump to the recipe.
