The history of the cocktail was started by an American bartender Andy MakElhon in the beginning of 1960's. Right that time European market was flooded with Blue Curacao liqueur, which adds the cocktail an amazing color. The drink won all hearts of millions, as well as the film of the same name. However the cocktail was named not after the film, but after Icelandic Thermal Resort. The bartender was so charmed with its beauty, so he gave the cocktail its name without a moment's hesitation.
According to another version, Blue Lagoon cocktail was created in Haiti by the painter Paul Gauguin. He could not take Absinthe for medical reasons. So the Frenchman has been mixing different types of alcohol drinks until he got a perfectly bright blue variant. But this legend did not find support.
