Being from the midwest and knowing cold-weather seasons from the inside out, I couldn’t see a more fitting occasion for a festive bourbon cocktail than this!
I knew right away that my version of a cool blue holiday drink had to have a bourbon whiskey twist.
Having said that, bourbon and fruity golden pineapple juice just happen to pair together wonderfully. A generous splash of blue curacao liqueur and squeezes of fresh lemon juice help to add balance.
I added a slightly more generous splash of 3/4 ounce blue curaçao liqueur to make it colorful and slightly sweeter for the holiday occasion. Paired together with pineapple juice and fresh lemon, it makes a super simple, delicious, and bold blue holiday bourbon cocktail.
If you like things less sweet, stick to 1/2 oz of the blue curacao liqueur, or add slightly more fresh lemon. Either way, this festive recipe makes a colorful blue winter Christmas cocktail with lots of tasty frothy and fruity flavor to celebrate the holiday season with simple ingredients.
