Bar Specials
A natural blue story for bar specials, layered drinks, mocktails, and high-impact menu launches.
Bars and beverages
Give the bar a natural blue without making it childish.
Use blue spirulina powder in cold cocktails, mocktails, sodas, and bar specials where synthetic dye is off the table.
Method
- 1Make a smooth blue dispersion before service or batching.
- 2Add it to clear mixers, syrups, sodas, or pale cocktail bases.
- 3Use acid for a deliberate teal shift in sours and citrus-led drinks.
- 4Keep the blue component cold and protected from long heat exposure.
Colour Notes
- Clear drinks turn vivid quickly.
- Tannins, dark spirits, bitters, and juices can mute the blue.
- Layering works best when the blue component has its own density and sweetness.

FAQ
Can it stand in for blue curacao colour?
Blue spirulina can give a natural blue effect in the right drink, but it behaves differently. Citrus-heavy cocktails move greener, and dark spirits can mute the shade.
Can bartenders batch it ahead?
Yes. Make a smooth cold dispersion, batch by weight, and keep it away from hot syrup work or long warm holding.
