Blue Curacao is the ingredient responsible for not only the brilliant colour but also the tangy taste of most of these cocktails.
It is a liqueur made from dried peels of laraha, a type of bitter orange. This citrus fruit originates from Curacao, a Dutch Caribbean Island.
While the liqueur comes in many colours including red, orange, green, and amber, the blue variety is the most popular.
Vodka, lime juice, sugar, pineapple juice, blue curacao syrup and triple sec – this cocktail looks best when garnished with pineapple and cherries.
An enticing combination of flavours, Island Affair has white rum, coconut liqueur and litchi crushed into it, and topped with blue curacao, soda and sprite.

One of the simplest cocktails to make at home. Simply combine gin, vodka, blue curacao and lime juice together and there you have it.
