The Royal Blue Cocktail is a cool, fancy drink. It mixes the light tastes of white cranberry juice, lemon or orange-flavored vodka, and blue curacao. This blend makes a truly royal blue colour. Betty Crocker first shared this recipe, and it is a great example of a well-made drink that looks amazing and tastes delicious.

INGREDIENTS

Lime wedge

Coarse sugar or granulated sugar

Ice cubes

1/4 cup cranberry juice cocktail

2 tablespoons (1 oz) citron vodka or vodka

2 tablespoons (1 oz) blue curacao

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

HOW TO MAKE IT

STEP 1

Moisten the rim of the chilled martini glass with a lime wedge.

Then sprinkle sugar onto a small plate. Carefully dip the moistened rim into the sugar in order to coat it lightly.

STEP 2

Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes then add the cranberry juice, vodka, curacao and lime juice into the shaker. Cover it and shake. Strain the mixture into a martini glass and enjoy.

This delicious cocktail is gaining popularity, and mixology experts are sharing key tips to elevate this visually stunning drink. The foundation of an exceptional Royal Blue lies in high-quality ingredients: fresh white cranberry juice, premium citrus-infused vodka, and good blue curacao are essential for both flavour and appearance.

Beyond the classic, don’t shy away from experimenting with different vodka flavours. While citrus is traditional, a fruit-infused vodka can introduce a unique twist. Precision with blue curacao is also vital; adjusting the amount controls both the drink’s signature colour and its sweetness, allowing for personal preference. Finally, creative garnishes are crucial for presentation. Move beyond a simple lemon twist and consider a sprig of rosemary, an orange slice, or a cherry to enhance the cocktail’s aroma and visual appeal. By focusing on these elements, anyone can craft a Royal Blue Cocktail that is not just delicious, but also a memorable showstopper.
