Ingredients You’ll Need

Lemonade: This gives a sweet and tangy base for our drink. You can use store-bought or make your own.
Fresh lemon juice: Adds extra zing that makes the drink taste fresh. Always use real lemons for the best flavor.
Blue curacao syrup: This makes the pretty blue color. It’s not the same as blue curacao alcohol – this is just sweet syrup.
Lemon-lime soda: Adds bubbles and more sweet citrus flavor. You can use Sprite, 7Up, or even a healthier option.
Ice cubes: Keep your drink nice and cold.
Lemon slice: Makes your drink look fancy. It also adds a fresh smell when you take a sip.
Maraschino cherry: The red cherry looks so pretty with the blue drink. You can use a fresh cherry, too.

Equipment You’ll Need

Cocktail shaker: Helps mix all the ingredients really well. If you don’t have one, you can use a jar with a lid.
Hurricane glass: The tall curved shape shows off the pretty blue color. Any tall glass will work if you don’t have this.
Measuring tools: Help get the right amount of each ingredient. Small measuring cups or shot glasses work well.
Cocktail umbrella: Not needed, but makes your drink look fun. You can find these at party stores.

How to Make Blue Lagoon Mocktail?

This drink is super easy to make! Just mix, pour, and add some fun touches to make it look pretty. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Mix the base ingredients

Add lemonade, fresh lemon juice, and blue curacao syrup to your cocktail shaker. Make sure to measure each one.

Step 2: Shake it up

Put the lid on your shaker and shake really hard for 30 seconds. This mixes everything and makes it cold.

Step 3: Pour over ice

Fill your hurricane glass with crushed ice. Then pour the blue mixture from your shaker over the ice.

Step 4: Add the bubbles

Pour some lemon-lime soda on top. Don’t shake this part – just pour it in slowly.

Step 5: Add fun touches

Put a lemon slice on the edge of your glass. Add a cherry on top. Now it looks just like one from a fancy place!

Tips for the Best Blue Lagoon Mocktail

Use cold ingredients. Starting with cold lemonade and soda makes your drink stay cold longer without watering down.
Try crushed ice. It melts slower than ice cubes and looks prettier in your glass.
Don’t skip the fresh lemon. Fresh lemon juice tastes much better than the bottled kind.
Add the soda last. This keeps the bubbles from going flat while you make the drink.
Find real blue curacao syrup. Look in the drink mix section or order online if your store doesn’t have it.

Variations and Substitutions

Make it less sweet. Use sparkling water instead of lemon-lime soda for a less sweet drink.
Try different citrus. Swap lemon juice for lime juice or orange juice for a new flavor.
Make it a slushy. Blend all ingredients with ice for a frozen blue lagoon mocktail on really hot days.
Add coconut cream. A splash of coconut cream makes it taste like a tropical vacation.
Make it a cocktail. For grown-ups, add 1-1.5 oz of coconut rum or vodka to make an alcoholic version.

Make-Ahead and Storage Tips

Mix the base ahead of time. You can mix the lemonade, lemon juice, and blue syrup up to 24 hours ahead.
Add soda just before serving. This keeps it nice and bubbly. Never add soda until you’re ready to drink.
Make a big batch. Just multiply all the ingredients by how many drinks you need for a party.
Store leftovers carefully. If you must save leftovers, keep in a closed jar for up to 24 hours.
Bring back bubbles. Add fresh soda to the leftover mix if it goes flat in the fridge.
