Blue Lady Cocktail

Bold, Blue & Ready to Party: Blue Lady Cocktail for the 4th of July

If the 4th of July had a fairy godmother, this would be the cocktail she’d whip up with a flick of her wand and a twinkle in her eye. ✨ Meet the Blue Lady Cocktail—a dazzling ocean-hued drink that looks like it was made to toast under the stars. With the dreamy combo of Blue Curacao, lemon juice, and gin, she’s bright, zesty, and just a little bit mysterious (in the best way).

Can a cocktail taste like a summer breeze wrapped in a firework sparkle?

A couple of weeks ago, we kicked things off with a ruby-red 4th of July cocktail made with homemade Chambord—and now it’s time to splash into the blue! This cocktail is pure coastal magic, shaken up in just minutes and garnished with sunshine: one orange wedge, one lemon slice, and a whole lot of sparkle.

Pair it with a red-white-and-blue no-bake cheesecake or a tray of starry cupcakes and you’ve got yourself a celebration worth remembering. Let’s raise a glass to stars, stripes, and sky-colored sips. 💙

🥘 Ingredients

• Cubed ice (for the cocktail shaker)
• Blue Curacao
• Freshly squeezed lemon juice – Check our post about" How much lemon juice is in one lemon?"
• Gin (preferably Flora Adora)
• Orange wedge (for garnish)
• Lemon slice (for garnish)
