Glassware
The Blue Lagoon cocktail is traditionally served in a tall glass, such as a Collins or highball glass. This type of glass is perfect for showcasing the vibrant blue colour of the drink, as well as allowing for plenty of ice and garnish.
Best ingredients
When it comes to choosing ingredients for your Blue Lagoon cocktail, it’s important to choose high-quality products.

Quite the awesome drink if made with Grey Goose!
Much better than lagoon’s using lemonade or soda, been using this at the bar I work at and it is going down a storm!
Perfect for a warm summer night. Tastes great in a slightly smaller glass with loads of ice.
its a fantastic drink does not taste like alcohol at all you could drink this baby all nite!
This drink is a popular favourite at my favourite haunts, its great to share with friends in the summer as it has a real tropical taste to it. Be careful not to drink too much, it can give you a bit of a blue tongue after awhile!
Thats wrong. a blue lagoon is with lemonade and a dash of lime rather than pineapple juice.
yours is a green lagoon lol
good ****
Got to be one of my favs, simple and great, I never get bored making them.
Original ‘Blue Lagoon’ recipe is:
6 parts Vodka
1 part Blue Curacao
3 parts Lemon/Lime juice
It is a bit stronger and ‘shorter’, but still rocks. . .
Cheers
