Curaçao is a Caribbean liqueur made using the dried peel of the Laraha citrus fruit. Blue curaçao is essentially the same thing, but it’s doctored with artificial blue coloring, which adds a bold appearance to cocktails. Look at fun mid-century concoctions like the Blue Hawaii, eye-catching drinks that take their names in part from their use of blue curaçao, and you can see the product’s appeal.
There is non-alcoholic version as a syrup :- https://www.amazon.in/Monin-Blue-Curacao-Syrup-250ml/dp/B00LASMHAC
