Tropical Sweet

O National Aquarium é um coquetel azul vibrante que combina partes iguais de rum, vodca, Blue Curaçao e suco de abacaxi. O Blue Curaçao fornece a impressionante cor subaquática enquanto o suco de abacaxi oferece uma doçura tropical que suaviza os fortes destilados base de rum e vodca. O nome é inspirado na brilhante aparência azul da bebida.

History & Origins

The National Aquarium is a modern party cocktail of disputed origin, likely inspired by the popularity of Blue Curaçao drinks in American bars during the 1990s and 2000s when brightly coloured cocktails were in fashion. Its name references the deep blue colour of the finished drink, evoking the visual of an aquarium or the ocean. No single creator or venue is credited with the recipe.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet citrus and tropical notes with a hint of orange from the Blue Curaçao against the combined backdrop of three spirits. Palate: Sweet and tart upfront from the sour mix, with the interplay of rum's sweetness, vodka's neutrality, and gin's botanicals creating a layered mid-palate; lemon-lime soda adds effervescence. Finish: Refreshing and citrusy with a moderate spirit warmth.

Pro Tip

Shake all spirits and sour mix vigorously with ice before straining over fresh ice in the Collins glass, then add the soda splash last to preserve fizz.
