Blue Splash '24 is a bright, party-leaning citrus cocktail that sits somewhere between a fruit-forward sour and a tropical cooler, with a vivid blue hue that’s made to stand out in a cocktail glass. You won’t find a long, fixed backstory attached to this name, but the drink clearly draws on the modern “blue” family of mixes built for bold colour, easy drinking, and a sweet-tart balance that suits contemporary, nightlife-style serves.
On the palate, Aftershock (Blue) brings the main alcoholic backbone alongside its distinctive sweet intensity, while blue curaçao layers in extra sweetness and a clear orange-citrus note. Orange juice broadens that citrus into something round and juicy, and pineapple juice adds a richer, tropical fruitiness that makes the drink feel fuller. Lime juice tightens everything with a sharp edge, and the simple syrup smooths the corners so the citrus stays bright without turning too lean.
You’ll reach for this when you want something colourful, fruity, and unapologetically fun—ideal for celebrations, pre-drinks, or any moment where the drink is part of the vibe. It suits anyone who likes sweet citrus and tropical flavours with a lively, tangy finish, and it’s especially satisfying when you’re in the mood for a cocktail that tastes as vibrant as it looks.

Cocktail Colin says:
Aftershock (Blue) and blue curaçao bring a sweet, candied citrus punch that rides over orange juice and pineapple juice, while lime juice adds a sharp snap and simple syrup rounds the edges into a glossy, blue-fruit impression. It works because the lime’s acidity and pineapple’s tang keep the liqueur sweetness from cloying, making it ideal for party drinkers who like bold, colorful, fruit-forward sours.
