The Blue Horizon is a vibrant cocktail known for its striking blue hue and refreshing, tropical flavor profile. Here’s a detailed recipe to craft this delightful drink at home:
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ounce vodka
- 3/4 ounce blue curaçao liqueur
- 3/4 ounce spiced rum
- 6 ounces orange juice
- 1/4 ounce grenadine syrup
- Ice cubes
- Maraschino cherry and/or orange slice for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a Collins glass with ice cubes.
- Pour in the vodka, followed by the blue curaçao and spiced rum.
- Add the orange juice, allowing the liquids to mix naturally.
- Slowly drizzle the grenadine syrup over the back of a spoon into the glass; it will sink to the bottom, creating a layered effect.
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry and/or an orange slice, if desired.
- Serve immediately to enjoy its vibrant appearance and refreshing taste.
Notes
- For a lighter version, consider using diet orange juice and reducing the amount of grenadine to lower the sugar content.
- Adjust the proportions of the spirits to suit your taste preferences, ensuring a balanced flavor profile.
