Blue Lagoon Mocktail With Sprite – Simple & Refreshing

Alright, let me tell you about an amazing mocktail idea I have for my daughter’s 7th birthday party coming up. She’s all about mermaids this year, so of course, I’m going full-on under-the-sea vibes with everything picture-perfect for her parties.

I was browsing Amazon last week and found these adorable fishbowl glasses that would be so cute for serving drinks. That’s when it hit me that we needed a bright, vibrant blue beverage to make the mermaid vibe pop.

Immediately, I thought about this killer blue cocktail called the Blue Lagoon I had before. It’s made with blue curacao, lemonade, and vodka for a tropical, oceany flavor. Obviously, I can’t be serving vodka at a 7-year-old’s party, though!

So, I will make a kid-friendly version using lemon-lime soda instead of vodka and some blue syrup rather than the curacao liqueur. I think that a sweet-tart lemon-lime base with blue syrup will give it that perfect lagoon watercolor. I may even toss a splash of pineapple juice with Sprite for that fizzy, fruity kick.

I’m so excited to make these blue lagoon mocktails with Sprite. I know my daughter will flip when she sees these on-theme mocktails. So, let’s look at why you should try it and what ingredients and simple to easy steps you should take.

Serving Suggestions I’m Crazy About

Alright, let’s get creative with serving up this stunning Blue Lagoon Mocktail. We will not just pour it into a glass – oh no, that’s too boring. We are going to make this drink an absolute showstopper.

First things first, grab a fancy glass and muddle some fresh, juicy pineapple or mango right in the bottom. This will give you a beautiful fruit layer to start. Now, carefully pour that vibrant blue lagoon mixture, letting it settle on the fruit. 

Next up, top it all off with a mountain of crushed ice. But we’re not done yet! Let’s make this drink pop with a gorgeous garnish. An edible flower or a slice of colorful citrus fruit would be perfect. You could also rim the glass with toasted coconut flakes for a more tropical vibe.

If you want to go all out, get creative with textures too. Swirl in coconut cream or sprinkle some shredded coconut over that ice. Are you feeling extra fancy? Stick a pineapple frond or a cute little umbrella right in there. The options are endless to make this drink a tropical delight.
