Instructions
- Chill your glass by placing a highball glass in the freezer or filling it with ice water for a few minutes.

- Add 2 oz vodka, 1 oz blue curaçao, 1 oz lemon juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup into a shaker filled halfway with ice.

Notes
Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Shake with plenty of ice but serve over fresh ice to avoid dilution. Adjust simple syrup to taste for sweetness. For a non-alcoholic version, omit vodka and blue curaçao and substitute with butterfly pea flower tea and orange extract. Chilling the glass enhances the drinking experience.
