I’ve been meaning to try a ‘holiday’ drink for a while so had a gander at the recipes for Blue lagoon, to which there are a few variants just so you know. I took what I liked in each and put them together to make one personal to taste. Yes I am aware it’s winter and cold doesn’t even describe the weather most of the time, but there’s something about cold drinks in cold weather that I quite like, especially when it comes in the form of an alcoholic cocktail…why it would be rude not too ;).
So I picked up my favourite cocktail book (Diffords guide) and got to work…seriously I have many cocktail books but if you just need one then this is it. Come to think of it, I may do a wee review for you so you can get a feel for the comparisons but for now back to the Blue lagoon.
Garnishes…well I used the Opies cocktail cherries because, well I don’t have the time to faff with making my own, or perhaps it’s just laziness.
The original recipe I used, called for the ingredients to be blended, however I much preferred to stir them, that way the drink was not too watered down when I added the lemonade.
