TRUE BLUE COCKTAIL RECIPE
What is the True Blue?
The True Blue is a fun, citrus-forward cocktail that makes a bold statement with its vivid blue layer and clean, crisp flavour. It's incredibly easy to make but looks like something straight from a cocktail bar. Dry gin and Double Dutch Double Lemon bring classic sharpness, while Blue Curaçao gives a dramatic hue and a hint of orange.
Ingredients in Our True Blue Recipe
Dry Gin
The foundation of this cocktail. Choose a good quality dry gin to deliver that classic juniper kick and structure beneath the citrus layers.
Double Dutch Double Lemon
This mixer doubles down on zesty lemon flavour — fresh, lively, and perfectly balanced. It lifts the gin and balances the sweetness of the Curaçao.
Blue Curaçao
This orange-flavoured liqueur delivers a bright citrus note and its iconic blue colour. Pour it over the top for that stunning layered look.
Garnish: Blueberries
Skewered blueberries add a final pop of colour and a hint of sweetness. Bonus: they make a great snack after the drink.
Why Use a Highball Glass?
A highball glass is perfect for layered, fizzy cocktails. It gives you the vertical space to showcase the gradient effect from the Blue Curaçao, plus it holds enough mixer to keep the drink light and sessionable.
