Rating

3.54 / 5
The Blue Ice cocktail is a refreshing and flavorful drink that combines the smooth and crisp taste of vodka with the sweet and tangy flavors of lemonade and orange liqueur. This cocktail was created as a variation of the famous Blue Hawaiian, with a twist of using vodka instead of rum. The main ingredient, vodka, adds a clean and neutral flavor to the cocktail, while the lemonade brings a refreshing and slightly sour taste. The orange liqueur adds a subtle hint of citrus and complements the other ingredients perfectly. The blue color of the cocktail comes from the addition of blue curaçao, giving it a playful and eye-catching appearance. This cocktail is a perfect choice for those looking for a fruity and balanced beverage to sip on during a warm summer day.

FAQ's

The Blue Ice cocktail is best served in a highball glass. To enhance its aesthetic and cold nature, ensure the glass is well-chilled before serving. Add ice to the glass before pouring in the mixed ingredients for an extra refreshing experience.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute something else for Blue Curaçao in a Blue Ice cocktail?

Yes, if Blue Curaçao isn't available, you can substitute it with a combination of triple sec or another clear orange liqueur and a few drops of blue food coloring to achieve the signature blue color. However, this may slightly alter the flavor profile of the cocktail.

How does the alcohol content in a Blue Ice cocktail compare to other popular cocktails?

With an alcohol content of 9.5%, the Blue Ice cocktail sits on the lower end of the spectrum compared to more potent cocktails like a Long Island Iced Tea. However, it's slightly stronger than light cocktails such as a Mimosa.

For garnishing a Blue Ice cocktail, consider using a slice of lemon or a twist of lemon peel to complement its citrusy notes. A cherry or a sprig of mint can also add a nice touch of color contrast and enhance its visual appeal.
