Let’s be honest—sometimes, we just need a drink that feels like a vacation… without the alcohol, the sugar crash, or the headache the next day.
That’s exactly why I love making Blue Curacao mocktail recipes. They’re bright, citrusy, and surprisingly soothing after a long day. Just one sip and you’re somewhere warm, breezy, and far from your inbox.
In this post, I’m sharing five of my go-to non-alcoholic Blue Curacao mocktail recipes—each one easy to prep, beautiful to serve, and built with nourishing ingredients you likely already have. Whether you’re hosting brunch or craving something refreshing after dinner, these mocktails deliver flavor without compromise.
👉 Curious what Blue Curacao syrup even is? Or if it always contains alcohol? Don’t worry—we’ll cover all that below.
But first—here’s why this one blue bottle deserves a permanent spot in your pantry.
Why Use Blue Curacao Syrup in Mocktails
If you’ve ever seen a drink that looks like it came straight from a beachside café—ocean-colored and sparkling—it probably had Blue Curacao syrup in it.
The best part? There is a non-alcoholic version of Blue Curacao, and that’s what we’ll use throughout these mocktails. It delivers that zingy, slightly bitter orange flavor (from laraha peels) without the alcohol, making it perfect for all ages and any occasion.
So, what is best to mix with Blue Curacao?
Think lemonade, tonic, citrus juices, fizzy water—even ginger ale. These mixers elevate its taste and let that signature blue hue take center stage. They also form the base of most Blue Curacao mocktail recipes worth repeating.
If you’re building a habit around feel-good drinks, this syrup is the secret ingredient you’ll reach for again and again. My grandma would’ve called it kitchen magic—and I have to agree.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of Blue Curacao?
Yes! While traditional Blue Curacao is a liqueur, the syrup version is alcohol-free and used in countless Blue curacao mocktail recipes like the ones below. check out this full explanation if you’re still wondering about the alcohol content.

Presentation Tips: Make Your Blue Curacao Mocktail Recipes Shine
In my family, how you serve something is part of how you love someone. Grandma Dalida always said a well-garnished drink was “half nutrition, half celebration.” So here’s how I like to dress up these Blue curacao mocktail recipes to make them feel extra special—even on a Tuesday.
- Use clear or frosted glassware. Let that beautiful ocean-blue color be the star. Mason jars work great for a rustic vibe, while tall flutes add elegance.
- Layer your pour. Want an ombre effect? Pour the Blue Curacao syrup slowly at the bottom before adding juice or soda. The density difference naturally creates a beautiful gradient.
- Lean into garnishes. Think mint sprigs, edible flowers, lemon wheels, or fresh berries. Not only do they look pretty, they add subtle aroma and flavor.
- Add texture. A rim dipped in sugar or crushed freeze-dried fruit flakes can turn any mocktail into a showstopper.
- Serve chilled—always. These recipes taste best ice-cold, so either chill your glassware or shake with extra cubes before serving.

Where to Buy or Make Blue Curacao Syrup
If you’re new to Blue curacao mocktail recipes, the syrup might sound a little exotic—but I promise it’s more accessible than it looks.
You can buy pre-made Blue Curacao syrup online (Amazon has a few good options), or at specialty grocery stores. Just double-check the label—make sure it’s the non-alcoholic version, especially if you’re serving kids or skipping alcohol for wellness reasons.
That said… if you’ve got 20 minutes and a saucepan, you can absolutely make your own. And honestly? That’s my favorite way.
