For all of you Big Blue Mixologists out there, here are some Kentucky Blue-themed drink recipes to get all of you (21+) pumped for our team and our soon-to-be perfect season.
Go CATS!
The Reload – Lemonade with a BBN twist
What you’ll need:
¾ oz. vodka
¾ oz. Blue Curacao
1 oz. sour mix
Sprite
Directions:
Mix the vodka, Curacao and sour mix over ice. Fill the rest of your cup with Sprite. And, voilà! A blue lemonade that would make Devin Booker proud.
Harrison Hooch – Put this in your mason jar for the purr-fect Caturday.
What you’ll need:
2 oz. Hypnotiq
1 oz. coconut rum
A splash pineapple juice
Directions:
Mix ingredients into a shaker and shake into your cup. Boom.
Big Blue Jell-O Shots – Blue Raspberry Jell-O shots are sure to make your game day a win.
What you’ll need:
3 oz. package of Berry Blue Jell-O
1 cup boiling water
1 cup Raspberry Pucker (or other raspberry liqueur)
Directions: Mix the Jell-O and the boiling water together. Add liqueur. Pour the mix into individual molds (shot glasses, Dixie cups, etc). Refrigerate until the Jell-O takes shape. This should take a minimum of two hours, but it’s recommended to let them set overnight.
Two Platoon Punch – This actually isn’t punch; it’s sangria. Having a game day party? A big batch of this is sure to be a success.

½ cup Blue Curacao
½ cup lemon juice
½ cup simple syrup (or 1 part sugar, 1 part water)
2 oranges
1 cup pineapple chunks
Sprite
Directions:
Mix all ingredients (except for the Sprite) in a bowl and stir. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours. Pour into a chic glass and top off with sprite, as needed.
