Review:
Blueberries nestle across a vodka and rum-laced blue lagoon of coconut and cranberry. It may be a "blue drink," but it isn't overly sweet.
History:
I came across this cocktail in October 2022, but while I liked the name, I didn't like the recipe. Hence, this spec is my adaption of somebody else's good idea for a cocktail.
