After Shock Blue Cool Citrus

After Shock Blue Cool Citrus is a vivid blue citrus liqueur from the After Shock range, made by Beam Suntory and bottled at 30%. Known in the United Kingdom party scene, it leans on a striking bright blue colour and a fresh, sweet and sour flavour built around mint and citrus fruit. The blue is purely visual, the liqueur reading as cool citrus and menthol, and the bottle is best treated as a colour and refreshment tool rather than a heritage piece.

The nose is fresh and lightly sweet with mint and citrus, the palate sweet and sour with citrus fruit and a clear mint note, finishing long and best served iced. Behind the bar its job is colour, sweetness and a cooling minty citrus lift, which makes it a quick base for bright blue long drinks, spritzes and chilled shots where visual impact matters as much as taste. Serve it very cold straight from the freezer, lengthen it with lemonade or soda, or layer it for colour in a vivid party serve.
