Discovering the Blue Passion Cocktail: A Taste of Paradise from Scrub Island, BVI

Scrub Island in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) should be at the top of your travel list if you dream of pristine beaches, azure waters, and a touch of tropical luxury. This private island resort offers breathtaking scenery, upscale accommodations, and a signature cocktail that perfectly captures the essence of its idyllic surroundings—the Blue Passion.

The Blue Passion cocktail is more than just a drink; it’s a sensory journey that transports you to the serene shores of Scrub Island with every sip. This vibrant, azure-hued beverage is a delightful blend of tropical flavors, expertly crafted to refresh and invigorate. The Blue Passion is the perfect companion whether you’re lounging by the pool or watching the sunset over the Caribbean Sea.

One morning, I headed to the Scrub Island, BVI pool bar, early enough that the Bartender was still setting up for the day. I wanted to taste and photograph some tropical cocktail house specialties, so I introduced myself to Stacy, the Bartender.

I ordered 3 drinks from the menu that caught my attention: the Scrubslide, Scrub Island Spiced Tea, and Basil Shores. Stacy asked if I was going to drink all of them?! I told her not to worry; I planned to taste and photograph the tropical cocktails.

I then explained to her that I had a blog and wanted to highlight exotic cocktails of the BVIs. At that point, Stacy suggested I try the Blue Passion drink she had created. It was everything an exotic tropical cocktail should be.

Martini or cocktail, a good shake makes all the difference in the world so buying a cocktail shaker can seriously step up your at-home drink game. Think about it: no more settling for boring mixed drinks when you can whip up bar-quality cocktails in your kitchen. It’s not just about the fancy presentation (although that’s a fun bonus) but also about how it makes mixing drinks easier and more fun. 

I have at least a dozen shakers, but one favorite. The shaker doesn’t leak; you won’t have to hit the shaker against the sink to get the top off, and the cap will measure from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces with clearly marked labels. Measure the perfect amount every time. And it is dishwasher safe!

Plus, once you get the hang of shaking, you’ll feel like a total pro, impressing your friends and yourself with your newfound bartending skills. So why not add a little shake, shake, shake to your life and upgrade your happy hour?

Garnish with a slice of orange or pineapple and a cherry for that perfect tropical touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your taste of Scrub Island paradise.

Thank you, Stacy, for suggesting such a great tropical cocktail and being so gracious about mixing up all of my drinks before you were even set up and ready for business.

The Blue Passion cocktail is more than just a drink; it’s an experience. Its vibrant blue color is visually stunning, reminiscent of the sparkling waters surrounding Scrub Island. The flavor perfectly harmonizes sweet, tangy, and refreshing notes, making it ideal for any occasion, especially on a warm, sunny day.

While we may not always be able to visit the breathtaking shores of Scrub Island, the Blue Passion cocktail offers a delightful way to bring a piece of that paradise into our homes. So, the next time you need a tropical escape, mix up a Blue Passion, close your eyes, and let the flavors transport you to the enchanting world of the British Virgin Islands. Cheers to tropical bliss!
