The Made in Italy DIY Bar: The Angelo Azzurro Cocktail
Welcome and farewell (for now!) to the Made in Italy DIY Bar! It’s our last week deep-diving into the world of Italian drinks, and we’re going out with a bang. We hope you’ve learnt a few new recipes along the way, and created special themed nights at home to go along with our weekly blogs. Buon appetito!
Angelo Azzurro
The translation for this vibrant Italian cocktail is Blue Angel, and you’ll definitely reach some kind of heaven with one in your hand. Some say the striking blue colour is reminiscent of the blue grotto in Capri.
History of Angelo Azzurro
There is a theory that the origin of the name came from its strength, as it made people feel like they were flying, and because of its colour, resulted in ‘Blue Angel’. For the history on the contents of the drink, the most widely accepted origin is that Angelo Azzurro is simply a variant of the Blue Lagoon.
