💡 What's interesting

The drink's striking blue hue comes from blue curaçao, a liqueur flavored with the dried peel of the laraha citrus fruit, which is native to the Caribbean island of Curaçao. Its name and appearance play on the idea of a 'shock' to the senses, blending visual appeal with a bold, sweet-sour taste.
