Dive into a Blue Lagoon

Contrary to popular belief, the Blue Lagoon’s history stretches beyond the 1980s when its vibrant colour made it the king of cocktails.

This vodka-based sharp and sweet sip was created as long ago as 1972 in Paris, far from the tropical islands which are brought to mind when we drink it whilst listening to Wham at an 80s party. Its electric blue, disco in a glass colouring comes from the blue in the Blue Curaçao liqueur which serves no purpose other than to look pretty. It may look like a holiday drink, but the combination of Blue Curaçao and vodka packs a real punch. We are convinced that this blue-hued beauty is ready for a comeback.
