The Blue Lagoon

Or as my mom calls it, "the blue thing"

Drink

Alcohol

The blue lagoon is one of my go-to low-ABV cocktails for people who aren’t really drinkers (which, of course, isn’t a bad thing at all). It’s only got a little over a shot in it, and in a big glass, it’s not gonna knock a lightweight off-balance. Since it’s mostly lemonade, the taste is also way more acceptable to non-drinkers than, say, the bitterness of a Negroni. And, it’s blue!

This drink in particular is a favorite of my mom, who I don’t think has ever called it by its proper name and only calls it “the blue thing.”
