This sweet and refreshing drink is a summertime favourite that got its name from our kids who knew it was mom’s drink and they couldn’t have any. We serve these cocktails at many of our outdoor parties because our guests usually ask if we will be making them.

- Peach Schnapps.
- Lemon-lime soda.
- Ice Cubes.
How To Serve Blue Juice Cocktail
We like to serve this cocktail in hurricane glasses because we like the look of them. Usually, we garnish the rim of glasses for this cocktail with lemon slices.
Another great way to serve these for a BBQ is in mason jars with a cocktail umbrella.
Ice Trick To Avoid A Watered-Down Drink
One trick we have been using is for the ice in the drink. When it’s hot outside, the ice melts quickly, making the drink watery. We started making ice out of lemonade. This also adds a bit more lemony flavour as it melts without watering down the drink.
If we know we will be making these cocktails, we add a couple of drops of blue food colouring to the water to make ice cubes. Then the drink keeps its bright blue colour as the ice melts.
For another great drink to serve, try our Pineapple Rum Slush, which is also perfect for a hot summer evening or BBQ party.
