What is a Classic Blue Lagoon Cocktail?
A Blue Lagoon is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail typically made with vodka, blue curacao liqueur, lemonade, and citrus soda. It’s a beachy, summery drink that is a popular, festive choice for summer bashes, big and small.
The mocktail version omits the vodka and uses blue curaçao syrup instead of the liqueur. It still features lemonade and citrus soda and is garnished with a cherry and lemon slice. It’s a stunning, tasty beverage!
What Makes This Recipe Great
I’ve been having so much fun making mocktails lately! Recently I shared this Blue Hawaiian and this Strawberry Pineapple Mojito Mocktail, and ya’ll, the mocktails are AMAZING! It’s such a fun way to jazz up non-alcoholic drinks for non-drinkers, kids, moms-to-be, and more! Now everyone can join in on delicious, beautiful beverages.
Today I’m sharing my newest non-alcoholic version, this virgin Blue Lagoon Mocktail! It has the most beautiful, vibrant blue color and has a bright, sweet citrus flavor. This is the perfect mocktail for hot summer days, baby showers, brunch dates, and more!

- Lemon slice and maraschino cherry (or fresh cherry) for garnish
- ice cubes
Step-by-Step Instructions

Recipe FAQs
Yes! There is a syrup that is pretty easy to find at local grocers and especially beverage stores (Like BevMo). Make sure you get the syrup and not the liqueur.
There are just a few simple ingredients to make this non-alcoholic drink: lemonade, fresh lemon juice, blue curacao syrup, and lemon-lime soda. If you don’t love sweeter drinks, opt for sparkling water instead of soda.
