Things to Know About “Blue” Drinks
Consuming any liquid more than water – it’s all in moderation.
Anything added to a drink to make it ‘blue’ most likely contains dyes and sugars, whether natural or artificial. Some side effects of excessive consumption can include darkened stools and sugar headaches, so enjoy your blue mocktails, but do go easy!
Blue Curacao Liqueur vs Blue Curacao Syrup
The biggest ingredient change in most of our favourite blue mocktails and cocktails is substituting Blue Curacao Liqueur, which contains alcohol, for Blue Curacao Syrup. The latter contains no alcohol and is made from a fairly harmless mix of cane sugar, citric acid, and brilliant blue 1 food dye (FDA & EFSA approved). It’s designed to replicate both the colour and flavour of ‘the real thing’.
Blue Matcha
Another natural blue ingredient we’re still experimenting with is Blue Matcha. Quite different from green matcha, blue matcha comes from the Butterfly Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea). It’s packed with antioxidants such as proanthocyanidin and anthocyanin and has an herbal, earthy flavour, though not overpowering. Importantly, it does not contain caffeine.
The colour can range from lavender to a deep azure, depending on how and with what it is mixed—could it be the ideal natural colourant that’s good for you, too? We want to try it in a few more recipes before reporting back; so far, we’ve only seen it working with gin, and the pH mix turns it a brilliant purple!
Serve Drinks in Blue Glassware
If the idea of drinking too many artificially coloured drinks doesn’t sit well with you, consider mixing it up with the type of glassware you’re using for a tropical vibe instead. Simply having blue tones around a sparkling drink can give off a distinct feeling of being at the beach.
These blue mocktails are just the beginning of your Fourth of July drink adventures! For guests who enjoy alcoholic options, check out our Blue Cocktail Roundup for complementary recipes.
