This Curacao co*cktail Drink was one of our first recipe posts back in 2009. It’s fun to see how our photography and stories have changed over the years! It’s afabulous curaçao co*cktail drink to enjoy. It’s fruity, slightly bubbly and perfectly beautiful both in taste and beauty for any tropical setting.
Curacao co*cktail Drink Recipe
I can’t tell you how much I love Curacao, a flavored liqueur made from the dried peels of the laraha citrus fruit which grown on the island of Curaçao, hence, the name. The brilliant blue color, the bright citrus/orange tones and slight bitterness of this liqueur makes a perfectly delicious and beautiful co*cktail.When Brandt Johnson, the head bartender at Club Med Columbus Isle was setting up for the evenings Food & Wine Festival co*cktail demonstration, I was stunned at the beautiful tray of brilliant green sea of Green Flash curaçao co*cktails drink.
What’s a Green Flash ?
In the Bahamas, it’s a “natural tropical phenomenon occurring at sunset. Very rarely, on utterly cloudless occasions, and just after the sun has disappeared underneath the sea, a brilliant band of green light as wide as the sun itself will flash across the horizon.”As beautiful as this natural wonder appears, this co*cktail is as delicious. I personally have not experienced this amazing sunset sight, but I’m now obsessed with seeing it one day. Back in my college days, I was obsessed with the aurora borealis and now I can add this green flash light show to my wish list. It’s a big wish list in the making, but I have a whole lifetime to wait for it’s coming.
Until the, I have this fabulous curaçao co*cktail drink to hold me over. It’s fruity, slightly bubbly and perfectly beautiful both in taste and beauty for any tropical setting.This will hold me over until I see the real deal over the sunset one day.

Such a treat for the taste buds!! I can’t really handle Vodka that well, but I’ve made a similar recipe with TY KU Soju (a healthier alternative to Vodka) and it makes the taste a lot lighter and still sooo delicious!! Thanks for the recipe, this has become one of my new favorite weekend drinks

That’s great. I like co*cktails as I used to work at a nice Bar in Hanoi

You’re right the Curacao liquer is the best.
I was looking online and now they even have a chance to win a trip for Curacao for free every day. -

I really like Blue Curacao too, though you won’t often find me admitting it north of the tropics. Who says there are no blue foods!
Your photos are exquisite – thanks for sharing.
