This Blue Christmas Mocktail Recipe gets its beautiful color from the Blue Curacao used in the recipe. Blue Curacao is a sweet blue liqueur, distilled and flavored from the dried peel of bitter oranges – however, we are using a non-alcoholic version in this recipe. When mixed with coconut and other flavors it becomes a sweetly intoxicating flavor – plus, it is a super pretty and eye-catching!
My kids love for me to experiment with different mocktails for kids. They get to be taste-testers and give their opinions as we craft and build different recipes.
I’ll have a blue, bluuuuueeeeee Christmas. LOL! Are you singing it? This beautiful Blue Christmas Mocktail makes me see Elvis in all his crooning glory. 🙂

Recommended Tools:
A great (and pretty) mocktail takes a stash of a few fun tools like the ones listed above. So, if you are planning to make cocktails and mocktails when entertaining, it would make sense to create your own little bar box! This way, you are prepared when the unexpected guest drops in.

December 16, 2017 at 5:54 amPerfect “mocktail” for the kids – good that you have 3 taste-testers to give their approval. Then it would be so easy to turn it into an “adult” beverage. Thanks for coming to the party and sharing with Fiesta Friday.

December 14, 2017 at 9:03 amI love mocktails. I have adult guests that do not drink alcohol. These give us the option for fun drinks! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party!

December 7, 2016 at 1:59 pmPlease explain how a “mocktail” that includes a distilled liqueur with a 15-40% alcohol content is appropriate for kids?

December 8, 2016 at 9:21 pmI see it now. Where you clearly wrote “get this one–it has zero alcohol” heheh.
The mocktail looks lovely. I may very well take it in the other direction and add a shot of gin or vodka. For me. Not the kids. Thx
