They say there is a story behind almost everything and same is the case with the Blue Lagoon. It is said that an artist who stayed in Paris was recommended by his doctors to give up drinking and that he should go to Tahiti. The man was of course upset of having to leave his place and go to Tahiti, and then he started thinking of a tropical drink that would stop him from going there. And that is how this lovely drink came into existence.

It is a tropical drink which makes you feel the tropical in every possible way, be it the color, taste or even the name. The very bright and faint color reminds only of the sky, hence making you get in a tropical mindset. Though the taste is bit more hard than what one would expect from the color, it can be used in any season. Always an excellent option in the summer, but even can be consumed in winter. The popularity of the drink means the blue lagoon recipe is equally famous as well.

Another reason behind success of the blue lagoon recipe is the simplicity of it. It only requires Blue Curacao as its main ingredient, while others can be added up as per the users wish. Generally it includes a shot of Vodka, a shot of Blue Curacao and four shots of lemonade. But one can also make it in flavors of coffee, caramel, raisin, lemon, spices etc. So enjoy this lovely tropical drink.
