Blue Lagoon Cocktail: An Original Recipe Created in Paris in 1960
The Blue Lagoon, also called the Blue Lagoon by translation, is a cocktail created by Andy MacElhone in 1960 at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris. The son of the founder of this bar wanted to pay homage to the White Lady, a cocktail signed by his father, by replacing triple sec with blue curaçao and gin with vodka. The result is as beautiful as it is delicious! We discover variations a little later with orange juice or lime juice instead of lemon juice for more pep and fruity flavors.
The making of this cocktail is really very simple! Traditionally prepared in a shaker, you can however pour all the ingredients into a glass and mix with a spoon if you don’t have the equipment of a mixologist at home. We decided to add a touch of glitter for an even more impressive visual effect. Think to rim your glass to elevate your cocktail and to enjoy colorful aperitifs (but of course with moderation)!
