BLUE CURACAO COCKTAILS
Blue curacao is one of my favorite ingredients when it comes to blue cocktails. It is a type of liqueur or syrup that has a citrus flavor, similar to triple sec. The best part is that it is colored in blue tone which makes it super unique for making fun blue drinks, ideal for summer. You are going to enjoy this simple, yet super delicious blue cocktail recipe. You can easily make it without white rum for a blue mocktail recipe that is kid-friendly too.
