Blueberry Blue Curacao Fizz Cocktail Recipe

I like this drink because it mixes that bright citrus from blue curaçao with the sweet punch of blueberries and a fizzy finish. It’s refreshing, colorful, and honestly, pretty easy to pull off.

Equipment

I keep my setup simple. The cocktail shaker does most of the work, blending everything together so the flavors actually mix.

I grab a strainer too, just to keep out the blueberry bits and ice.

• Cocktail shaker
• Strainer
• Highball glass (or Collins glass)
• Bar spoon
• Jigger or measuring tool
• Ice cubes

I usually reach for a highball glass since it leaves room for soda water and whatever garnish I’m feeling. A bar spoon helps if I end up stirring instead of shaking.

Ingredients

I like to find a balance—sweet, tart, and fizzy. Blue curaçao brings citrus and that wild color, blueberries add natural sweetness, and soda water gives it the fizz.

A little lemon juice brightens the whole thing up.

• 2 oz gin (or swap in vodka, white rum, or tequila if you want)
• 1 oz blue curaçao
• 1 oz fresh lemon juice (lime works too)
• 0.5 oz simple syrup
• 4–5 fresh blueberries (plus more for garnish)
• Soda water or club soda, to top
• Ice cubes
• Optional: splash of pineapple juice, orange juice, or lemon-lime soda for extra flavor
• Garnish: lemon wheel, lemon twist, or maraschino cherry

I usually stick with gin for that crisp base, but vodka or rum totally work if you’re after a different vibe.

Instructions

I keep the steps straightforward so you’re not stuck at the counter forever. Shaking with ice chills everything and really gets the blueberry flavor in there.

• Add blueberries and simple syrup to your cocktail shaker.
• Muddle gently to release the juice.
• Toss in some ice cubes.
• Pour in gin, blue curaçao, and lemon juice.
• Shake for about 10–15 seconds.
• Strain into a highball glass full of fresh ice.
• Top with soda water (or club soda).
• Stir gently with a bar spoon.
• Garnish with a lemon wheel, twist, or maraschino cherry.

If I’m in the mood for something sweeter, I’ll add a splash of pineapple juice or lemon-lime soda.

Notes

This recipe is flexible, which is honestly one of my favorite things about it. Gin gives you that strong botanical kick, vodka keeps it lighter, and rum brings a smooth sweetness. Tequila? That makes it bolder, for sure.

Fresh lemon juice always beats bottled for a sharper flavor, but hey, use what you’ve got. Club soda keeps it crisp, while lemon-lime soda sweetens things up.

For garnish, I lean toward a lemon twist for the aroma, but a maraschino cherry or lemon wheel looks great too. Sometimes, if I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll add a small spoon of coconut cream for a creamier texture—it changes the look, but it’s fun to experiment.

Tasting Notes

When I take that first sip, wow—it’s just so refreshing. The fizz really lifts the drink and keeps it light, so I don’t feel weighed down at all.

The blue curaçao jumps out with this sweet citrus vibe. It reminds me a bit of a Blue Lagoon or maybe even a Blue Hawaiian. There’s that bright orange note hiding just beneath the blueberry.

The blueberry brings in a gentle, fruity sweetness. It balances out the sharpness from the citrus, which I love. Honestly, it feels like a cross between a blue curaçao margarita and a blue curaçao lemonade.

I pick up a little tang too, something almost like a blue curaçao mojito or maybe even a blue curaçao sunrise. The bubbles give it a fizz that reminds me of a blue curaçao gin fizz, but the berry twist? That’s what sets it apart.

The finish comes through smooth, a bit sweet, and not overpowering at all. I find myself sipping it slowly, just hanging onto those fruity flavors that stick around.
