Greenbliss is a bold, highball-style mixed drink that leans into modern, neon-bright party-cocktail territory rather than a storied classic. With just two bottles doing all the work, it’s the kind of simple, spirit-forward pour you’ll find when you want maximum colour and impact with minimal fuss. Expect it to feel contemporary and playful, built around a flavoured base and a vivid liqueur accent.
On the palate, Taboo forms the main body, giving you a sweet, flavoured backbone that reads as smooth and easy to drink. Blue curaçao layers in a clear orange-liqueur sweetness, adding a candied citrus edge that lifts the drink and keeps it from tasting one-note. Together, the curaçao’s bright, sugary orange note rides over Taboo’s richer sweetness, creating a punchy, liqueur-led profile.
Serve it in a highball when you’re after something eye-catching and uncomplicated—ideal for house parties, pre-drinks, or any night where you want a colourful glass in hand. If you enjoy sweeter, liqueur-forward drinks and you’re not chasing sharp sourness or bitterness, this is firmly in your lane.

Highball glass
Ingredients
Cocktail Colin says:
Taboo floods the highball with a sweet, fruity rush, while blue curaçao layers in bright orange-citrus candy notes that turn the whole sip into a neon, syrupy wave. This combo works if you want maximum flavor with zero fuss, and it’ll please drinkers who like bold sweetness and loud fruit over nuance or dryness.

FAQ's
Why is the Greenbliss cocktail stirred and not shaken?
The Greenbliss cocktail is stirred instead of shaken to ensure a smoother texture and to prevent the drink from becoming overly diluted. Stirring gently combines the Taboo and Blue Curaçao, preserving the clarity and rich colors of the ingredients, which is essential for the cocktail's aesthetic appeal.
What is Taboo, and how does it impact the flavor profile of Greenbliss?
Taboo is a fruit-flavored liqueur known for its sweet and somewhat exotic taste, often including a mix of tropical fruits. In the Greenbliss cocktail, Taboo provides a dominant sweet and fruity base that complements the citrus and slightly bitter notes of the Blue Curaçao, resulting in a balanced and refreshing flavor profile.
What type of glass is best suited for the Greenbliss cocktail, and why?
The Greenbliss cocktail is best served in a highball glass. This choice is deliberate as the highball glass allows for an adequate volume of ice to keep the drink cold while providing sufficient space for the layers of flavor from the Taboo and Blue Curaçao to mingle beautifully. Its tall structure also showcases the unique color blend, enhancing the drinking experience.
How does the alcohol content of Greenbliss compare to a standard cocktail?
With an alcohol content of 15%, Greenbliss sits on the lower end of the alcohol spectrum for cocktails, which typically range from 15% to 30%. This makes it a milder choice, suitable for those who prefer a less potent drink that still offers flavorful complexity.
Is there a way to make a non-alcoholic version of Greenbliss?
Yes, a non-alcoholic version of Greenbliss can be made by substituting Taboo with a non-alcoholic tropical fruit punch and replacing Blue Curaçao with a non-alcoholic blue syrup or cordial. This modification retains the visual appeal and fruity flavor profile of the original cocktail, making it accessible to those avoiding alcohol.
