Ocean Breeze Cocktail

Easy tropical drink that’s quick to make in either single serving or a large batch! This Ocean Breeze Cocktail is a delicious mixture of blue curacao, rum and lemonade. Perfectly refreshing on a hot summer day at the lake, pool or a backyard party!

It’s that time to start thinking about what icy cold drinks to serve at all the backyard parties, BBQs, and pool parties this summer, and I have a great one for you to try: an ocean breeze cocktail!

It’s a refreshing boozy summer drink you can make for a crowd or scale-down and just make for you.

I love blue cocktails during the summer – they remind me of relaxing days at the lake and BBQs! It’s a perfect sipping drink that is citrusy and the best thing on a hot day.

All About Easy Blue Curacao Cocktail Recipe!

Blue curacao is a type of liqueur that has a citrus flavor, similar to triple sec. The big difference is that it’s blue colored so it’s perfect for making summer drinks that look as refreshing as they are to drink.

For an ocean breeze drink, you combine it with rum and lemonade for a super simple drink. You can make it by the pitcher for parties or I’m also sharing how to make a single drink.

Break out all the pool snacks like chips, salsa, and guacamole and mix up one of these delicious drinks to go with them. You are going to love it!

Ingredients for a Single Drink

• 1 oz blue curacao – this is what makes it a blue cocktail!
• 1 oz white rum – white is best for this drink, there isn’t a substitute.
• 4 oz lemonade
• 1 lemon slice
• 3 blueberries
• Ice

How to Make It

Fill your glass half way with crushed ice.

Add the blue curacao, rum, and lemonade. Stir to combine.

Garnish the drink with the lemon slice and fresh blueberries!

Make a Pitcher for a Party

I love this drink recipe because it scales up easily to serve a crowd. Here’s what you’ll need to make a batch of ocean breeze cocktails to serve four. If you want more than that, you can double it again.

• 4 oz blue curacao
• 4 oz white rum
• 16 oz lemonade
• 1 lemon cut into slices
• ½ cup blueberries
• Ice

Place the ingredients in a large pitcher with ice and stir to combine. Pour and enjoy!
