Bols blue was my drink of choice before I moved onto Absinthe. There are absolutely no similarities between these two drinks, except when served they both look pretty. Blue Bols is a very old liquer. It originates in Holland and is made from sweet red oranges and "herbs". It is 21% Alcohol (ABV) and is served mixed iwth lemonade. Don't let the word "Liquer" put you off as it does not taste like alcohol- it is quite dangerous but lovely in this respect! I drank quite a lot of "Blue Bols" (as it is more commonly known) whilst I was a student and for several years afterwards. It is quite hard to find in bars (not as hard ...  Read the complete review

Back when it was my 18th birthday, I had decided to host a cocktail party. As i was researching different cocktails, the ones that seemed to stand out to me were the fruity ones which often were bright coloured. When researching ingredients for these coktails I found that Blue Bols appeared in many, therefore I decided to buy it for the very first time. At the time I had no idea what it would be like, but my mother and sister both had told me it was nice with Lemonade. Blue bols is available at supermarkets such as Asda and Tesco and costs around a £10 however, it is quite often on offer. £10 for a 500ml bottle however is a decent price and I found that a ...  Read the complete review

When I was 18 which feels like forever ago I used to go out pretty much every weekend usually on a Saturday and a Sunday and one drink I discovered then was Blue Bols which I used to drink quite often. On a recent night in with some of my family I decided to host a bit of a cocktail night and Blue Bols was one of the drinks that I bought in for it. The Blue Bols curacao comes in a fab looking bottle I think which features a long and thin neck which is ribbed. The Bols name is on the bottle as well as the information that the brand began in Amsterdam in 1575 and through it you can see this wonderful and distinctive blue liquor. I do think that this product ...  Read the complete review

Many moons ago when I was introduced to alcohol and then the more refined cocktails I tried one called a Blue Lagoon in my local Wetherspoons, the reason being it was cheap, tasty and I could get drunk quickly. When I became a little more cash savvy I realised I didn't have to go all the way to my local to get a cocktail and instead I could do it at home and there started my hunt for "Bols Blue" at first I couldn't find it anywhere and then one day I came across it in my local Asda, before that I had only seen it in Victoria Wines in which case it was almost £13 a bottle so seeing it for just £8 and regularly on rollback to £7 in my local supermarket I was ...  Read the complete review

Blue curacao is an orange flavoured, rum-based liquer, coloured blue for no apparent reason. It is very sweet, and it's best not to think about the e-numbers. Bols is a drink manufacturing company based in the Netherlands. They are the best known maker of blue curacao which is why it's more well known as "blue bols". This may also be because "bols" is a lot easier to say than "curacao"! It also leads to the possibility of asking friendly barmen if they have blue bols, but that's perhaps a story for another time :-) Other people make blue curacao, but don't be taken in by the imitations - Bols is the original and the ...  Read the complete review
