The 1960s gave us the hippies and, along with them, a new word: "psychedelic." Psychedelic music, psychedelic colors, psychedelic movies. The trend even spilled over into food and drink, and cocktails started getting bright, eye-catching colors. They say the Blue Lagoon is like the crystal-blue water of a pristine lake for anyone who's thirsty. There are all sorts of stories about where it came from — some claim it was invented at the same time in two different places, France and America. Of course that can't really be true; it's just that both countries like to claim the credit. There are actually two versions of the Blue Lagoon. The original called for lemon juice and sugar (5 sugar cubes) instead of soda, but the recipe was later simplified. So, picture the drink divided into 10 parts. Mix 3 parts vodka and 3 parts curaçao (the bright blue liqueur) over ice. Measure the Sprite in a jigger first, then add it to the vodka and liqueur. If you like, you can swap the Sprite for 7Up. The finished drink should be a pure, brilliant blue. Serve it in a tall glass over ice, garnishing the rim and straw with cherries and slices of lemon or pineapple.
