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.
