There is just something more fun about blue drinks and this Blue Cosmo is no exception. The Blue Cosmopolitan cocktail recipe is easy just as easy to make as the traditional cosmopolitan drink. It tastes similar as well, just a bit smoother and of course a pretty blue color.
Blue Cosmopolitan Cocktail
When converting the basic cosmopolitan recipe to a blue drink, the same primary ingredients are used, but with color in mind. Rather than triple sec, blue curacao adds a sweet fruity splash. White cranberry juice is used instead of regular and many (myself included) skip lime juice, allowing the lemon twist to suffice.
The result is a lovely smooth flavored blue martini style cocktail.
