Mojito Curazao

This Blue Mojito cocktail (also called a Blue Curacao Mojito) is a fun twist on the classic mojito recipe that everyone loves. Blue curacao gives this mojito a delicious orange flavor and a beautiful ocean blue hue.This perfect cocktail is bound to be your new favorite drink.

Pro tip: When you garnish a cocktail with mint or other similar fresh green herb (like basil, rosemary, etc.), make sure to smack it!

What I mean is clap the herb between your hands with force, which allows the aromatics of the mint to be released. This makes for a more flavorful cocktail, since aroma dramatically influences taste. Trust me, you’ll notice the difference, especially in cocktails like mojitos.

Blue Curacao Mojito Recipe By Nandani Singh

The Mojito cocktail is a Cuban specialty hailing from Havana. It isn’t absolutely clear exactly where it came from, but it dates back to the 1500s and was a bit different from what we know today as the Mojito. Bacardi is thought to have created the modern version of the drink around mid-1800s.

Others say that the Mojito was the Cuban evolution of the Mint Julep. While its history is debatable, I think we can all agree that the Mojito is one of the most delicious cocktails!

Blue curacao (also spelled blue curaçao) is an orange liqueur with a blue color. It can be used almost interchangeably with triple sec. Historically, blue curacao is a brandy-based liqueur, although many brands do not follow the traditional method, especially the blue variety of curaçao.

The % ABV (alcohol by volume) of blue curacao can vary from 20-40%. The one I used (Drillaud) clocks in at 25%. For more blue curacao drinks, you can also check out my Shark Bite Spritz and Beetlejuice Margarita. My Blue Mermaid Water Margarita is a great blue curaçao-based drink as well!

Muddling mint allows for the aromatics and oils from the mint to be released and make for a better-tasting cocktail. Make sure to lightly muddle! If you press too hard, the green plant chlorophyll will seep out and make the drink bitter.

You can also use muddled mint in my Martini Royale, which is a bubbly cross between an Italian spritz and a mojito.

The average Mojito comes in around 13% ABV (alcohol by volume). I’ve calculated this particular Blue Mojito to be around 14%, so it’s just slightly stronger than a regular mojito due to the addition of the blue curacao. Of course, this depends on how much soda water you use and how fast your ice melts.

Most mojitos are traditionally a white rum cocktail, like this cocktail and my Mojito Royale recipe. I’ve even made Mojitos with Gin. I have tried Mojitos that use dark rum, which gives a spiced, complex layer of flavor to the Mojito. For example, spiced rum is used in my Blackberry Mojito. The blackberry flavor and spiced rum complement each other very well.

**If making ahead, remove mint leaves from pitcher and add back fresh leaves right before serving. Also, do not add lime slices in advance – both fresh mint and lime slices may make the cocktail bitter if left to sit overnight.

Mojito Royale Cocktail

A mojito is a traditional Cuban cocktail that combines five ingredients: white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint. The mixture of flavours has made the mojito a popular summer drink.

This drink reminded me of the crystal blue waters of a pool and is beyond refreshing. Check out the delicious blue curacao mojito recipe below!

Curacao is a citrus flavoured liqueur from the Dutch island of Curacao. It is not always blue but can also be clear or orange in colour. Curacao adds a lovely citrus flavour to your favorite cocktail because it is infused with citrus peels.

I often substitute 7Up or Sprite for the simple syrup and soda in this recipe. It’s just a bit faster than making my own sugar syrup mixture. The blue curacao gives this drink it’s signature colour but is totally optional.

Simply omit the curacao for a more traditional mojito drink. Traditional mojito ingredients that I like to have stocked all summer are: white rum, lime, fresh mint, sugar and soda water.
