Blue Lagoon
Early Summer 2022
It’s unclear who invented the original radiant blue highball, though it likely happened shortly after the cult movie of the same name was released in 1980. In our version, the vodka is bumped up, the Curaçao is dialed back, and fresh lemon juice and club soda make it sparkle.
Makes 1 drink
1 1/4 oz vodka
1/2 oz Cointreau
1/2 oz Blue Curaçao
3/4 oz strained fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz Simple Syrup (recipe follows)
3 oz club soda, chilled
Lemon wheel to garnish
1. Pour vodka, Cointreau, Curaçao, lemon juice and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker. Add three ice cubes. Shake for 5 seconds. Strain into a chilled highball glass filled with ice. Top with club soda. Lightly stir. Garnish with lemon wheel.
