Blue Curacao Mocktail
I LOVE getting festive for whatever the season is. I like to wear outfits that scream the season, and my food is no different. When I have a party or get-together, I love serving themed food, especially colorful themed food.
Cocktails are no different. I love to experiment and develop cocktail recipes, especially martinis. However, not everyone drinks, and cocktails aren’t family-friendly.
Enter this gorgeous blue curacao mocktail that everyone, including kids, can enjoy. The color is absolutely GORGEOUS thanks to blue curacao syrup. Yes, this is a popular liqueur. But did you know that you can get it in a non-alcoholic syrup? Well, you can!
And here’s the recipe to make your own. You’re welcome! LOL!
