Description
Understanding the nature of the blue lagoon mocktail requires looking closely at how its basic components harmonate in a glass. This non-alcoholic beverage is a alcohol-free adaptation of the classic highball cocktail. Instead of relying on blue curacao liqueur and vodka, this virgin variation relies on concentrated non-alcoholic blue curacao syrup combined with fresh citrus juices and carbonated soft drinks.
