But as it V day and alcohol has it stipulated role to play we will stick to the original cocktail recipe with vodka as the base drink. The way you toss it up makes all the difference to this Valentines recipe.

Procedure For Making Blue Lagoon:

• Fill a high ball glass (special variety of cocktail glass shown in the picture) to the half way mark with ice.
• Pour the vodka and blue curacoa shots into it at once and shake in a circular motion to mix it up. Do not use a stirrer to stir the drink because it will take the texture of it's taste away.
• Pour the lemonade over the ice and alcohol mix. Again shake in a circular motion to mix it up.
• If you want your drink to be stiff then use 3 parts of lemonade instead of 4. If you use two then it will become too stiff to be a proper cocktail.
