A Blue Whiskey Punch combines canadian whiskey, blue raspberry, and blue curacao in a bright, tart and easy-drinking spiked lemonade. Make one with the recipe below; when you need a full service rather than a single glass, the keg build scales the same idea without scaling the prep.

Conventional recipe adapted from the Draftology keg specification by Craft Standard.
Substitutions
- No blue raspberry syrup? Muddle 4–6 fresh blue raspberries with 1/4 oz simple syrup, then fine-strain the drink.
- Use club soda for a lighter, sparkling finish, or cold water for a classic still lemonade.
- Choose bourbon for a rounder, sweeter drink or rye whiskey for a drier, spicier finish.
Make a pitcher
- 10 oz Canadian Whiskey
- 2 oz Blue Raspberry Syrup
- 2 oz Blue Curacao
- 2 oz White Cranberry Juice
- 16 oz (2 cups) cold water or club soda
For a pitcher of eight, multiply every still ingredient by eight and chill the mix before service. Add soda, ginger beer or any other sparkling ingredient to each glass just before serving; batching carbonation early makes the drink go flat.
Want to make it at scale?
Making one Blue Whiskey Punch is straightforward. Making a full service means measuring, chilling and repeating that spec all night. The Craft Standard Lemonade keg keeps the same flavor direction, but moves the prep into one keg build so every serve comes from the tap.

Start with one Classic Lemonade 30L Keg, then add the ingredients below through the Keg Spiker and shake well before connecting the keg.
