{"product_id":"blue-daiquiri","title":"Blue Daiquiri | 8.4%VOL | Smoother than your best chat-up line.","description":"\u003cp\u003eLet us not pretend otherwise, you are here because it is blue. That is completely fine. The Blue Daiquiri is the drink that makes everyone at the table look up and ask what you are having, and then order one themselves. Ours is rum, blue curaçao and citrus, blended in small batches at our place in Manchester and poured out of the can the exact colour of a holiday you have not booked yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIt Tastes Better Than It Looks, Which Is Saying Something\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blue is the hook. The reason people come back is what is underneath it. Clean white rum, proper lime sharpness, and the orange note that blue curaçao actually is once you get past the colour. It finishes dry rather than sweet, which is the thing most blue drinks get wrong, they treat the colour as the whole personality and forget to put a cocktail behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Daiquiri, Not a Blue Lagoon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth clearing up, because people mix these two constantly. A Blue Lagoon is vodka and lemonade. A Blue Daiquiri is a proper daiquiri, rum and lime, with blue curaçao doing the colour and the orange. Ours is firmly the second one, which is why it tastes like a cocktail rather than a soft drink that has been got at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCans, or the Bottle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 200ml cans come as an 8 pack for the fridge or a 24 pack when there is a garden party, a birthday or a long hot weekend on the horizon. Each can is a finished cocktail, so there is no measuring and nothing to add but ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 700ml bottle pours seven serves at a standard 100ml measure. If you are making a jug for a crowd, pour the bottle over a jug of ice and drop in a few lime wheels, it looks ridiculous in the best possible way. And if the group cannot agree on anything, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/boozy-taster-pack-x8-cocktails-200ml-ready-to-drink\"\u003etaster pack\u003c\/a\u003e puts eight Boozy flavours in one box and ends the debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Serve It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold, and in something clear. This is the one drink in our range where the glass genuinely matters, because half the pleasure is looking at it. A coupe, a tumbler, a jam jar, anything see-through. Plenty of ice, a wedge of lime on the rim, and you are done. It photographs absurdly well, which your friends will discover the moment you hand them one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Strong Is It?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cans and the bottle are both 8.4% ABV, which is about 1.7 UK units per 200ml can and around 5.9 units in the full 700ml bottle. Easy-drinking does not mean weak, so it is worth knowing the numbers. Our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/cocktail-abv-calculator\"\u003eCocktail ABV Calculator\u003c\/a\u003e will tell you how that compares with a daiquiri shaken at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSmall Batch, Made By Us\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe blend and fill every can and bottle ourselves in Manchester. Same few people, same kit, same obsessive tasting sessions. Getting a blue drink to taste properly grown-up took more attempts than any other flavour in the range, and we are quietly proud of where it landed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRather Make Your Own?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFair enough. My \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/recipes\/blue-daiquiri-recipe-tropical-cocktail-easy-boozy-serve\"\u003eBlue Daiquiri recipe\u003c\/a\u003e walks you through the build if you have got rum and curaçao in the cupboard. And when you would rather just open something cold and blue, the cans are on our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/boozy-ready-to-drink-cocktails\"\u003eready to drink cocktail cans\u003c\/a\u003e page along with the rest of the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlue Daiquiri FAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes it blue?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue curaçao, which is an orange liqueur that happens to be bright blue. The colour comes from the curaçao rather than anything added afterwards, and it is where the subtle orange note in the flavour comes from too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does blue curaçao actually taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet orange, a bit like a softer triple sec. People expect it to taste of raspberry or bubblegum because of the colour, then get a pleasant surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a Blue Daiquiri the same as a Blue Lagoon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A Blue Lagoon is vodka based and lengthened with lemonade. A Blue Daiquiri is rum and lime with blue curaçao, so it is sharper, stronger in character and far more of a proper cocktail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many serves in the 700ml bottle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeven at a standard 100ml pour. Keep it chilled and serve over ice in the clearest glass you own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boozy.co.uk","offers":[{"title":"8 Pack","offer_id":49910253617452,"sku":"Blue-Lagoon-RTD-200ml-8","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 Pack","offer_id":45895243006252,"sku":"Blue-Lagoon-RTD-200ml-24","price":71.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bottle (700ml)","offer_id":55660483346812,"sku":"Blue Lagoon 700ml","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/1875\/1276\/files\/blue-daiquiri-smoother-than-your-best-chat-up-line-169932.jpg?v=1774192074","url":"https:\/\/www.boozy.co.uk\/products\/blue-daiquiri","provider":"Boozy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
