The origin of this cocktail, like many others, is disputed but many people believe that it was invented in 1972 by Andy MacElhone – the son of the owner of the first cocktail bar in Europe, Harry’s Bar. The ability to master a blue cocktail is evidence of the impressive mixology skills that have earned Harry’s Bar great respect over the years.

Many bars have concocted their own variations of the popular cocktail, with some substituting vodka for rum, some adapting it to create a Blue Lagoon Margarita, and others adding fruit juice instead of lemonade.
