Blue Cocktail for Parties (3 Ingredients)

Summer Signature Drink

What’s a theme party without a signature cocktail? It’s one of my favorite ways to carry out the colors or flavors of a party.

• This is a great signature drink to add to our summer party ideas. 
• This blue cocktail is just what you need for a 4th of July celebration.
• It’s befitting of a red, white, & blue party.
• Serve it for Memorial day or Labor day celebrations.
• It’s a must for a beach theme, pool party or coastal theme.
• Not only is this a great signature cocktail for summer holidays, it would look and taste great at a tropical themed party or a nautical theme for a baby shower or birthday party.
• This makes an awesome drink for game day parties and super bowl parties if blue is one of the teams colors.

Want to Name Your Drink?

If you’re serving this for a theme party, give it a theme name, especially if you’re going to add a sign, a menu, or food markers. Here are some fun ideas.

• Blue Whale or Blue Dolphin for a beach party theme.
• Blue Wave for a coastal theme or a political party theme.
• Sea Breeze or Ocean Breeze for a tropical party.
• Blue Hawaiian for a luau.
• Blue Lagoon for a tropical theme.
• Rain Water for a western theme or garden theme.
• Blue Sky or Blue Angel for a flying or travel theme.
• “Royal” blue cocktail for an English royalty, king or queen party.

3 Ingredients

This recipe is quick and easy to make with just three simple ingredients.

• Blue Curacao liqueur
• Malibu Coconut Rum
• Sparkling Lime water

Everything is mixed together over ice and garnished with a cherry if desired. The orange liqueur and coconut liqueur combine well together, while the lime water adds effervescence, balances the sweetness of the liqueurs, and tempers the alcohol level.

You can pour it into shot glasses for a quick shooter too, however you would want to omit the sparkling water because the bubbles would be hard to drink quickly. Use a squeeze of fresh lime wedge instead.

What is Blue Curacao 

Blue Curacao liqueur is made from the citrus peel of a fruit grown on the island of Curacao. It’s an easy substitute for Triple Sec in recipes when you want to add the blue tint to your drinks. It’s pronounced ku-ra-sow.

What to Serve it With

When it comes to party food, I think you always need something savory to pair with cocktails. Especially if this is prepared for a happy hour gathering, or pre-dinner. Here are some tasty appetizers that would go great with this recipe.

• These jerk seasoned chicken skewers are great for an Island vibe or tropical theme.
• Marinated shrimp cocktail is a terrific summer party food. 
• These black bean & chorizo flatbread pizza bites are a great savory compliment to this cocktail.
• Delicious sausage empanadas are little pockets of heaven.
