It’s time to bring back the Blue Lagoon, a guilty-pleasure drink that was invented half a century ago in Paris at the iconic Harry’s New York Bar. This version has a significantly more complex flavour than the classic, thanks to the addition of ginger juice, coconut milk and Italian lemonade. We’ve also given it a Canadian nod: “Les barachois” is a term for the coastal lagoons of Atlantic Canada and Quebec.—Christine Sismondo

Ingredients

  • 3 oz sparkling Italian lemonade

  • 1 1⁄2 oz Kinsip Juniper’s Wit Gin

  • 1 oz light coconut milk

  • 1/2 oz McGuinness Blue Curaçao

  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice

  • 1/2 oz store-bought ginger juice

  • 6 ice cubes

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high until smooth, about 1 min. Pour into a tulip glass and garnish with an edible flower. Serve immediately.
