I am new to this drink. I first tasted this in a mall here. I had it with hot chicken strips burgers, vegetable nuggets, french fries. I was really blown away with this. It tasted amazing with those hot foods. I immediately got inspired by this drink, i asked them what did they used for the colour. Is it food colouring or something else. They told it was blue curacao syrup.
I have never heard about this before though it was readily available in the supermarket shelves.I think, I have never paid attention to them. Immediately i went to the supermaket and got a bottle of that. The next day i made this yummy drink. I posted the pic on facebook and many of you asked for the recipe. So i made it again and took pics for you. Seeing my love for this syrup, next day hubby got me a bottle of pink granadine syrup. How sweet is he! I made a pink sparkling lemonade with that, will post that soon.

I don’t usually comment but this recipe looks amazing, so I thought I should let you know. It reminded me of a juice i make regularly at home – pomegranate juice with mint and lime. I use chilled KDD harvest’s pomegranate juice, and pretty much follow the your procedure of putting in ice, mint and lime. It is refreshing and tasty at the same time. Any idea where I can find the blue syrup? And also, which is the other pink drink next to it? looks interesting. Thanks 😛
@SoumyaYou can find it in supermarkets or online, search for Monin Syrups. And here is the link for the pink drink
