Ocean Waves Vodka Wine Cocktail

Summer is in full swing and the temperatures are definitely warm, and one of the best ways to cool down is with a fun cocktail. I’m sure you’ve noticed over the last few weeks that I have been sharing refreshing cocktails that are perfect for backyard BBQs, summer entertaining, or just relaxing by the pool.

It’s no secret that I love a good glass of wine, but I also enjoy creating wine cocktails. Especially in the summer. And I just love the color of my newest wine cocktail creation…the blue color reminds me of the ocean, hence the name Ocean Waves 😉 That beautiful blue color is due to Blue Curacao. And since this vodka wine cocktail is blue, it would be a fun cocktail to add to your 4th of July, Labor Day, and Memorial Day drink menus.

What is Blue Curacao?

Blue Curacao is a citrus flavored liquor. It gets it’s flavor from the dried peel of the bitter orange laraha. It is used in many popular drinks thanks to it beautiful color and simple citrus flavor that make sit easy for mixing.

The citrus notes of the Blue Curacao made my selection of wine easy…I used Sauvignon Blanc in this wine cocktail. Sauvignon Blanc is known for it’s crisp, citrus notes.

To make my Ocean Waves Vodka Wine Cocktail you will need these ingredients:

Blue Curacao
Vodka
Sauvignon Blanc
Sparkling Water – I recommend using lime or orange sparkling water to pair with the other citrus flavors going on in this cocktail
Ice

While my Ocean Waves Vodka Wine Cocktail is absolutely delicious, make note of the ingredients. Three different alcohols. Yes, this cocktail will pack a punch. Don’t let that pretty color fool you into thinking this a simple wine spritzer or cooler.

Now, let’s make my Ocean Waves Vodka Wine Cocktail. Be sure to Print and Pin the recipe so that you can make these all summer long…and next summer…and the next summer….and the next summer.
