Blue Jellyfish Shot: A Must-Have for Your Next Party

Blue Jellyfish Shot is one of the gorgeous blue curacao drinks I’ve ever tried. This alcoholic drink is colorful, eye-catching, and looks like a jellyfish in a glass. This shot is a great choice if you want to try something cool and different.

Blue Jellyfish Shot Recipe

The Blue Jellyfish Shot is a visually striking layered drink with a vibrant blue color and a unique “jellyfish”. This effect is made by adding a creamy ingredient that forms tendrils resembling a jellyfish inside the glass.

This impressive shooter looks like a jellyfish floating in the ocean. The drink also has a unique blend of flavors with the combination of vodka, blue curacao, and heavy cream.

The Jellyfish Shot pairs well with light, complementary foods. You can try seafood appetizers like shrimp cocktail or ceviche, or fresh options like cucumber slices, mild cheeses, and vegetable crudités.

The shot is also served great with orange or pineapple slices to highlight the citrus notes. Lightly salted nuts or chips add a subtle contrast.
