Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 oz Blue Curacao Liqueur
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 0.75 oz simple syrup
- 3 oz cold water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Juice about two medium lemons to obtain 1 oz (30 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Remove any seeds and set aside.
- If you don’t have ready simple syrup, dissolve ½ cup sugar in ½ cup hot water, stirring until clear. Cool before use. You only need 0.75 oz (22 ml) for the cocktail.
- Add 1.5 oz (45 ml) Blue Curacao, 1 oz (30 ml) lemon juice, 0.75 oz (22 ml) simple syrup, and 3 oz (90 ml) cold water or club soda to a cocktail shaker or mason jar. Do not add ice yet.
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes to chill the mixture properly.
- Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until chilled and slightly frothy.
- Fill a tall Collins or tiki-style glass with fresh ice cubes and strain the cocktail into the glass.
- Garnish with a lemon slice on the rim and a sprig of fresh mint if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for best flavor. Shake well to chill and blend flavors. Add club soda after shaking to keep fizz. Adjust simple syrup or lemon juice to taste. For non-alcoholic version, substitute Blue Curacao with blue food coloring and orange extract.
