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.

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.

a lovely smooth drink - good for humid days. I don't think the photo is correct as it comes out a darker blue thanks to the cranberry juice

This was wonderful and not what I was expecting. It actually tastes like blueberries. While I didn't have the garnish, it wasn't necessary. Would definitely have again. Thanks.
