The Blue Skies cocktail is a British recipe, so when it calls for lemonade, it’s referring to a carbonated beverage. Lemonade in the US is flat, so to my fellow Americans, I recommend adding some club soda to your flat lemonade to get the same effect. Of course you can just use flat lemonade, but I think this one is a lot more fun with bubbles.
This is a gorgeous drink that looks exactly like blue skies. The flavor is simply lemon and orange. It’s great to cool off with on a hot day – perfect for the poolside.
Recipe
- 1 ounce cointreau
- 1 ounce blue curacao
- Fizzy lemonade (or lemonade with club soda)
Pour the cointreau into a cocktail glass, followed by the blue curacao. Fill it up the rest of the way with lemonade, and garnish it with a slice of orange.

Perfect drink and yes ss you say it does need fizzy lemonade as the bubbles add the finishing touch. My other favourite cocktails are Between the Sheets and BMW. They are also must tries!!!
