10 Delicious Blue Curacao Cocktails

What better way to cure the blues than to enjoy a blue curacao cocktail?

Blue curacao is a liqueur that is most commonly used to make striking cocktails and shooters. The blue is absolutely stunning—just what you want a cocktail to look like. The taste has a citrus flavor to it which is why it's so refreshing to drink. In my mind it's the perfect liqueur to star in a summer cocktail, although I'll admit I drink it all year around in some of these fabulous cocktails.

Let's look at how curacao is made and ten fantastic cocktails that you can make with it that are sure to impress your guests.

Quick Peek at the Blue Curacao Cocktails + Flavor Combinations

What Is Blue Curacao?

Curacao is a liqueur that has an orangey flavor to it. It gets this flavor from the peels of the laraha citrus fruit that is grown on the island of curacao (which is where the liqueur gets its name).

The laraha are descendants of the Valencia oranges that were brought to Curacao in the 1500s by Spanish explorers. Neither the soil or climate were suited to growing oranges and the original Valencia oranges evolved into the laraha.

The laraha are too bitter to be eaten. The skins, however, can be used. When making the curacao liqueur, the laraha peel is dried. The drying process releases the laraha's sweetly fragranced essential oils. Once dried, the skins are soaked in alcohol and water for a few days before they are removed.

Curacao liqueur is actually colorless. Artificial color is added to it frequently, however, most commonly blue. Blue curacao can make some very striking cocktails. I have included 10 of them for you to enjoy.

1. Blue Lagoon

My favorite blue curacao cocktail

• 1 oz vodka
• 1/2 oz blue curacao
• Lemonade

Fill a highball glass with ice, add the vodka and blue curacao and top up with lemonade, stir and serve.

This cocktail is great to drink on a warm summers afternoon as it has a lovely refreshing flavor and with the lemonade component of it making it into a 'tall drink' it's not as potent as some other refreshing cocktails can be!

2. Blue Hawaiian

A cocktail to get everyone dancing!

• 1/2 oz light rum
• 1/2 oz blue curacao
• 2 oz pineapple juice
• 1/2 oz coconut cream
• 1 cup of ice

Place all of the ingredients into a blender, blend and serve in a highball glass with a pineapple wheel and some cherries as garnish.

3. Midnight Kiss

The slow dance of the evening . . . or just a drink for a special evening for two.

• 1 1/2 oz vodka
• 1/2 oz blue curacao
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Champagne

Place the vodka, blue curacao, lemon juice and ice into a cocktail shaker and shake, then strain into a champagne flute and top up with champagne.

A very striking looking cocktail

• 1 1/2 oz. silver tequila
• 2 oz pineapple juice
• 1/2 oz. blue curacao

Pour tequila into a glass and fill with ice. Add pineapple juice and stir well. Top with Blue Curacao and stir lightly. Garnish with a cherry.

5. Big Easy Blue Punch

This one made the top 50 holiday drinks list. I'll say no more.

• 1 oz blue curacao
• 2 oz coconut rum
• 2 oz pineapple soda
• 1/2 oz lemon juice

Combine blue curacao, rum and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a rocks glass. Top with pineapple soda and garnish with lemon wheel.

6. Blue Diablo

Don't drink too many of these—the name says it all.

• 1 1/4 oz Jose Cuervo Clasico
• 1/4 oz blue curacao
• Juice of half lime
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Club soda

Mix tequila, blue curacao, lime juice and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour into a short glass and top with club soda.

7. Blue Monday

Love the song and the drink's not bad either.

• 2 oz vodka
• Вј oz triple sec
• Вј oz blue curacao

Place all of the ingredients together with ice into a cocktail shaker, shake and serve in a martini glass.

8. Bluebird

One for the gin drinkers.

• 2 oz gin
• 1 oz triple sec
• 1 oz blue curacao
• 2 dashes bitters

Shake all the ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry.

9. Blue Margarita

A classic blue curacao cocktail.

• 2 oz tequila
• 1 oz blue curacao
• 1 oz triple sec
• 1 oz lime juice
• Salt
• Garnish: lime wedge

Rim the glass with salt. Shake all the ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into the margarita glass being careful of the salt rim.

10. Electric Blue Margarita

A classic with a retro peach schnapps twist

• 1 oz triple sec
• 1 oz silver tequila
• 1/2 oz peach schnapps
• 1/2 oz blue curacao
• 4 oz sour mix

Shake all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Fill glass with ice. Strain the mixture over fresh ice and garnish with lemon slice and serve.

Indianapolis Cocktail

This cocktail is fairly new to me and while it makes a nice change from the Blue Lagoon, it doesn't have as much flavor as the Blue Hawaiian for example. It looks sensational however.

Mix the ingredients together in a mixing glass with ice before straining into martini glasses to serve.

Lou165 15 months ago from Australia

Sounds delicious, I'll have to get some more Banana Liqueur and try that one.

My daughter had a blue Curacao cocktail in Corfu. Said to be the barman's personal one. It consisted of Blue Curacao, Bailey's Cream and Banana Liqueur. Said it tasted fabulous.

Diana Grant 2 years ago from London

Just clearing out my alcohol cupboard and came across something blue in a plastic bottle. Wasn't sure if it was blue curacao or blue spirit for my fondue. The only way to find out was to taste it, which I did very gingerly. Happily it tasted good so I was delighted to find your cocktail recipes. I didn't have any vodka, 'cos my partner drinks it as soon as he finds it - lol - so thought I'd try something else. I've got the lemon, lemonade and ice so will scout around for the final mystery ingredient to incorporate into what I'm sure will be a delightful aromatic drink. so cheers, and here's to you down-under

White On Rice Couple

We’re in serious need of cocktail therapy to sooth our nerves and prepare us for another all nighter of re-coding and html corrections on the blog. It seems appropriate to write up one of the cocktails and indulge. So for tonight’s session of inebriation therapy, we made a couple of “Island Taxi” cocktails made with rum and curacao and fresh lime juice

The “Island Taxi” cocktail is kind of a rum variation of one of our favorite cocktails, the Sidecar. We replaced the cognac with a light rum, swapped the triple sec to curacao to give it a beautiful color, then we played with the citrus to find a nice balance to the new alcohols. The result is quite refreshing. Both the hosts of the show, Cindy and Roxanne, loved these pretty, pretty Curacao cocktails. But for tonight, we might have to make a few more to soothe the pain for all the loss of blog posts.

Island Taxi Curacao Cocktail Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 ounce (30ml) light Rum (Havana Club if you can get it)
• 1 ounce (30ml) Curacao
• 1 1/2 ounce (45ml) fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
• 3/4 ounce (20ml) fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
• 1/2 ounce (15ml) Simple Syrup, or to taste
• sugar for the rim
• lime wheel for garnish

Directions:

1. If possible, chill your cocktail glass beforehand.
2. Moisten the rim of the cocktail glass with a piece of lime, then sugar the rim.
3. Add your cocktail ingredients to an ice filled shaker (rum, curacao, oj, lime juice, and simple syrup), and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into cocktail glass and garnish with lime wheel. Lick & sip.

Note 1: A basic simple syrup is a 1:1 ratio of sugar dissolved in water. example- One cup sugar dissolved in one cup of water. We usually make larger batches and keep on hand in the refrigerator.

As written it was very very sweet. To my taste, it was improved if one changes from blue curacao to Grand Marnier, omit the simple syrup, omit the sugared rim.

OMG. How horrible. I would make that drink a triple! You guys work hard enough as it is. God, I never even thought of backing up my blog. Jeez, I’m gonna have a drink or two for you!

Thanks for the info about backing up a blog. I’ll have to look into that.

Thanks for all the sympathies, everyone. D. was pouting pretty hard while things were messed up. There are still some posts truncated that will take some time to recreate. WAPITA. (What a pain in the ass!) Several have asked how to back up their sites. We are on WordPress, and there is a plugin that will automatically back your site up regularly, but it didn’t work for us correctly when we tried to restore the site. We are still researching why. A probably better solution would be to follow the methods listed on the wordpress site listed here :

It probably works for other platforms as well, but we don’t know for sure since we’ve only used wordpress. And Sandie, don’t harass the bartenders too much if they don’t know how to make an Island Taxi. It is our own creation. Just tell them they have to start reading our blog. Thanks again everyone for the support. T.

oppppsssss…..glad to see you back! and glad to know that you didnt resort to drinking chinese cooking wine like some people did (no no not me) LOL

Hey guys – I’m truly sorry to hear of your coding issues. It’s amazing how 1 tiny, miserable piece of code can mess up a whole blog, but I know it happens. Best of luck getting everything up & running at 100%.

Now… onto the really good stuff. Holy Moly! This drink looks delicious! I’m spending the month of July in Florida and am getting ready to visit various beaches over the next 2 weeks. Are you familiar with those little tiki hut bars found near oceanside pools? I’ll be looking for these “Island Taxi’s” in the days to come, and if the tiki bar bartenders are lame and don’t know how to make these (off chance, but still a chance,) I’m printing this recipe, making copies and handing it to him or her, with instructions to keep the glasses coming while I soak up some serious sun & waves! Cheers in advance…

Looks like the kind of drink that could get me into trouble. Tastes so good that you drink more than your share and then bam…you are stumbling around.

Glad you are back and running.

Oh dear..it happened to me once too when I went to change the layout of my blog. Ended up everything gone and I spent hours restoring it. It was a nightmare and I was crying and scolding myself for hours.

I hope you will sort out all your links and stuffs soon.

Such a pain to have all your hard work messed up! Hope that it has righted itself now. One Island Taxi for me please! (Love the colour!)

Ouch, sounds like a nightmare. The good thing about having our own domain is that all the published pages will still reside at the FTP even though they got wiped out from the blog management tool. But it’s a pain.

oh, no! I don’t even know how to back up my blog… is there a feature on word press that does that?

the good news is that the feed seems to be working! i hope you get to recover everything!

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I’ve had some issue myself and know how frustrating it is. That drinks look like a fantastic diversion from fixing a blog though:-)

Sorry to hear about your troubles guys. I hope you’ll be able to resolve the problem soon. I know how frustrating it can be to loose some precious work. The feed seems to work fine though.

I’m drinking with you. Cheers!!

I feel the pain. What a nightmare.

Glad that finally you could sit down and relax sipping this beautiful drink. Cheers!

I have been drinking a similar drink for over 30 years, a recipe straight from Playboy’s Bartender Guide. It’s called a Chapel Hill, and needless to say, that’s where I went to college: UNC-Chapel Hill. Go Tar Heels! Here’s the recipe as I remember (drink) it:

1 jigger whiskey, 1/2 oz Curacao, simple syrup, 1/2 oz lemon juice, juice from 1 slice of orange. It’s a little darker than your Island Taxi, but it sure is good.

Sorry to hear about all the problems. I’m sure it’s nothing a lovely drink can’t ameliorate!

Have I told you, you have absolutely stunning photographs?

Well, you have absolutely stunning photographs. 😀

Navigating the dodgy world of blog editing always calls for a drink or two with me. Of course, that might also be the reason why I have the worst luck making changes to my blog too.

I hear that you are meant to back up your blog often.. Problem is, I have no idea how, and no idea what to do with the backups when I have them!

I’ll join you all for a double too. What a week huh?

My heart skipped a beat just reading this. I have no idea what I’d do. Eek!

Delicious looking drinks!

I am pretty ignorant about this entire blogging process, so I just fly by the seat of my pants. Your tale of woe put the fear of God into me. Just reading it made me want a stiff drink! 😉

Hey guys, I hear your pain. The same thing happened to me. I tried to upgrade WordPress, something went horribly wrong and I lost the whole site for 2 days. It was absolutely crippling as you say. I really didn’t know how awful it would feel to have the blog gone. I cried! A lot! Anyway, I managed to sort things in the end, as have you but I now realise the importance of backups, backups, backups and I will never let anything like that happen again.

Whatever platform you use, wordpress, typepad etc, you should install a local copy of it on your computer (instructions on the web) – that way, you can mess about with the design as much as you want without fears then when it;s ready, upload it. Don’t know if you’ve already done this but thought I would mention anyway.

Good luck and hope to see your blog here every time I click!

Major bummer! Looks like you’ve done a great job in recovering stuff, though.

Keep drinking the Island Taxis. They’re clearly helping. 😉

ah, there’s nothing like some blue booze to clear the stress away. i love the action shot!

I’m getting my feed through yahoo… I would flip out if I didn’t get my white on rice… have a drink for me too!

oh I am so sorry you had to go through that. I will drink to you.

Oh how I can relate to that one. I’ve had something like that happen twice. I now have my first blog sitting out there in the virtual world: you can read it, you can comment on it but I can’t edit it. One day I’ll take it down.

You showed up in my RSS.

Ugh. How horrible!

I know just how it feels to be messing with back-end website disasters when all you want to be doing is cooking and eating. Or blogging. Or really, anything other than server and software issues. Best of luck on the cleanup process!

a nice way to celebrate your blog’s restoration. glorious colour.

What an ordeal. Hope you will restore all your posts soon. I dread this will happen one day and if someone can give us a link where we can back-up our files that would be great.

OH NO!! What a nightmare…email or call me if u need help. I’m actually pretty good in WordPress

oh no! I’m glad to see everything back in action… FYI, I’m a software engineer and do a fair amount of web stuff, and am happy to help my fellow bloggers when website troubles arise

As for cocktails, my favorite as of late has been the Blackberry Bramble: muddle 3-4 blackberries with some sugar, add cold gin, and a splash of seltzer water. Garnish with mint — yum!

What a bummer about your HTML troubles! I’m glad the two of you were able to patch things up.

I love your blog!

Oh nooooo! All of that beautiful work! You must be devastated! I hope that you guys can get it sorted out and recover as much as possible.

This is why I am so terrified to change anything on my blog. I am clueless about HTML, coding, scripts, etc., and I know if I tried to do these things, my computer would explode and my blog would be blown to smithereens!

Good luck, and drink an extra Island Taxi for me!

P.S. I’m still getting feeds in Google Reader.

Argh! Sounds like a nightmare. Silly question – how do I backup my blog?

Ouch! An Island Taxi is definitely needed. Love the color too.

I have you on Google Reader and the feed is still updating but is titled “undefined”

I was poking around to see if I could dig up any of your older posts out on the internet (e.g. google cache, wayback machine, etc), but didn’t have much luck. The drink looks great and it definitely seems like an appropriate time for it…I could only imagine how frustrating this experience has been. :-/

The feed showed up in Bloglines, so here I am. But the feed itself looks a bit weird (your blog title is showing up as an Http link).

Poor thangs. I’ve got your feed on google reader, and that hasn’t been wiped out. Phew.

I get the feed in the Safari bookmarks and I got this one OK – sometimes it takes forever to load but I just assumed it was the weight of all those gorgeous photos…

Poor you! I wondered why some of your posts were truncated and some were full feeds. Do you get all of your posts emailed to you? I do that and save them all just in case anything ever happens. *Knock on wood.* My feed shows previous posts in full so if you subscribe to yourself, you can get your old posts. Then it’s a matter of cutting and pasting. A pain, but at least all is not lost?

Beautiful blue color indeed! I hope you guys have had a chance to relax now. It will please you to at least know this came into my preexisting feed just fine 🙂

Oooooh, ouch! I’ll drink to a speedy recovery. (And go back up my own stuff.)

This post showed up in my Google reader, so there’s one you didn’t lose.

  Citrus and Butterscotch. It just works.

  Its a small drink with a really peculiar taste. Its half dark green and half red with a little white inside

  This drink is a refreshing tropical fruit drink. I recommend this drink to the people who like refreshing tropical drinks. Hope you enjoy !

  Gin and oranges. Blue style. And nothing in common (unfortunately) with the Green Arrow. Not heroic, yet tasty and refreshing.

  This is a mighty strong drink. As a widower, it takes me out of reality, which is where I like to exist.

  I just wanna know. u have to try it.
