Northern Lights Instructions

The Northern Lights cocktail is a refreshing and vibrant drink that will transport you to the mesmerizing beauty of the aurora borealis. This cocktail is the perfect mix of fruity flavors and a touch of mint, making it a delight for the taste buds.

To make this enchanting cocktail, start by muddling a few fresh mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. This will release the aromatic oils and add a refreshing twist to the drink. Next, add some ice cubes to the shaker.

Now it's time to add the star of the show - blue curaçao. This vibrant blue liqueur not only adds a stunning hue but also brings a citrusy flavor to the mix. Pour in a generous amount of blue curaçao and watch as the color of the cocktail transforms.

Next, add some pineapple juice to balance the citrusy notes of the blue curaçao. The tropical sweetness of the pineapple juice blends perfectly with the vibrant blue color, creating a visually appealing cocktail.

Give everything a good shake in the cocktail shaker to ensure that all the flavors are well combined. Once shaken, strain the mixture into a chilled glass. The vibrant blue hue of the Northern Lights cocktail is sure to catch everyone's attention.

Finally, garnish the cocktail with a mint sprig to add a fresh aroma and a pop of green to contrast with the blue. You can also add some pineapple chunks or a slice of lime as an optional garnish.

Now that your Northern Lights cocktail is ready, sit back, sip, and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavors. This cocktail is perfect for summer parties, themed events, or simply when you want to indulge in a visually stunning drink.


Best served in a Highball Glass.

Origins of the Northern Lights Cocktail

The exact origins of the Northern Lights cocktail are unclear, but it is believed to have been inspired by the natural phenomenon after which it is named. The northern lights, also known as aurora borealis, are colorful lights that appear in the sky near the North Pole. These lights are caused by particles from solar winds interacting with Earth's magnetic field.

Ingredients and Preparation

To make a classic Northern Lights cocktail, you will need:

- 1 oz blue curaçao

- 1 oz grenadine

- 1 oz vodka

- Ice cubes

To prepare this eye-catching drink, start by filling a glass with ice cubes. Next, pour in the blue curaçao followed by the vodka. Finally, carefully pour in the grenadine so that it sinks to the bottom of the glass and creates distinct layers of color.

Serve your Northern Lights cocktail with a stirrer or straw so that guests can mix all three layers together before enjoying this delightful beverage.
