History & Origins

The Grand Blue belongs to the family of visually colorful tropical cocktails that became popular in American bars during the 1980s and 1990s alongside Blue Curaçao's rise as a fashionable bartending ingredient. The combination of tropical coconut, peach, and citrus flavors in a visually striking blue drink reflects the era's preference for fruit-forward, visually impressive cocktails. Its precise origin is disputed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: sweet coconut from the Malibu, peach from the schnapps, and a bright orange and sweet-sour citrus note from the other components. Palate: sweet and tropical with coconut and peach leading, balanced by the sweet and sour mix's tart counterpoint. Finish: sweet, fruity, and tropical with a lingering coconut-peach character.

Pro Tip

Shake all ingredients with ice before straining over fresh ice in the glass for the clearest presentation of the Blue Curaçao's vibrant color.
