The Smurf #2
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.52 / 5
The Smurf #2 is a vibrant, playful cocktail known for its striking blue color, reminiscent of the blue hue of the beloved cartoon characters it's named after. This refreshing beverage combines the crisp tartness of lemonade with the smooth strength of vodka, and it's sweetened by a hint of orange liqueur. The distinctive blue shade comes from the addition of WKD Blue, a brightly colored alcopop. Overall, The Smurf #2 offers a sweet and citrusy flavor profile with a festive appearance, typically served in a highball glass for a casual yet eye-catching presentation. It's a whimsical choice for themed parties or simply for those who enjoy a sweet, fruit-forward cocktail with a touch of nostalgia.

FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

How do I properly shake The Smurf #2 cocktail?

To properly shake The Smurf #2 cocktail, start by adding the vodka, WKD blue, and blue Curaçao into a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients well. Then strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice and top up with lemonade. This method ensures a cold, well-mixed drink with a smooth texture.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute something else for Blue Curaçao in The Smurf #2?

Yes, if Blue Curaçao is unavailable, you can use another blue liqueur like Blue Bols to maintain the color theme. If the color is not a concern, triple sec or orange Curaçao can be used as substitutes; they will provide a similar orange flavor profile but will alter the drink's color.

What is the best way to serve The Smurf #2?

The best way to serve The Smurf #2 is in a highball glass filled with ice, ensuring it's cold and refreshing.

Optionally, a slice of lemon or a cherry could be added as a garnish for an extra touch.
