Ingredients and substitutions
Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients in this recipe. You can see a complete list of ingredients and instructions in the recipe card below.
Blue curaçao syrup - In lieu of blue curaçao liqueur, this sweet syrup with the bright blue hue has a mild orange flavor that mimics the orange-flavored liqueur. This also helps act as our simple syrup in this mocktail version. Can't find this syrup? Substitute the curaçao with orange juice and blue food coloring.
Lemonade - A traditional blue lagoon cocktail is usually composed of vodka, curacao liqueur, and lemonade or lemon-lime soda. To keep things simple, lemonade works wonderfully with the curaçao syrup taste.
Optional garnishes - This delicious drink can be garnished with a lemon slice wheel or lemon wedges, ribboned orange peel or orange slices, maraschino cherries, or a cocktail umbrella.
