Blue Curaçao Mocktail: A Blue Lagoon with Syrup

A blue curaçao mocktail uses non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup rather than curaçao liqueur.

Serving inspiration from the ProstZero drink collection: cobalt citrus tide

A blue curaçao mocktail uses non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup rather than curaçao liqueur. Lemon and soda preserve a clear blue colour. Orange juice can shift the appearance towards green.

The quantities make one serving. Measure the ingredients before mixing and chill any mixer. Syrups, juices and bottled alternatives vary in sweetness and acidity, so taste the base before topping up.

Ingredients for one serving

  • 15 ml non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup
  • 20 ml lemon juice
  • 150 ml soda
  • Ice
  • Lemon slice

Method

  1. Stir syrup and lemon juice together in the glass.
  2. Fill with ice.
  3. Slowly pour in soda and mix gently.
  4. Garnish with lemon.

Getting the balance right

Blue describes colour rather than alcohol content. Check the exact bottle and its label. With a concentrated syrup, 10 ml may be enough. Acidity depends on the syrup, so taste the diluted mixture before adding more lemon.

Variation and substitutions

Replace 50 ml soda with pineapple juice for a tropical variation. The drink will be cloudier and may appear turquoise. With lemon soda instead of plain soda, start with only 10 ml syrup to avoid excessive sweetness.

Preparing several servings

Measure juice, purée and syrup shortly before serving. Add ice and carbonated ingredients when you make the drink. To serve a group, multiply the quantities, but adjust one glass first before mixing the whole pitcher.

Common question

Can I simply dilute blue liqueur heavily?

Dilution does not remove the alcohol. Use an appropriately labelled non-alcoholic ingredient for this recipe.
