Description
A vibrant, azure-hued cocktail that lives up to its name with a dazzling blue color and a hint of citrus. This eye-catching drink combines the smoothness of vodka with the sweet tang of blue curaçao and a splash of lemon, creating a refreshing and visually stunning cocktail.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz blue curaçao
- 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- Ice cubes
- Lemon twist or blue candy flame (for garnish)
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
- Add vodka, blue curaçao, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
- Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist or a blue candy flame on the rim.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka and curaçao with blue sports drink and lemon-lime soda.
- To create a layered effect, slowly pour the blue curaçao over the back of a spoon onto the other ingredients.
- For an extra “flame” effect, you can carefully float a small amount of high-proof rum on top and ignite it briefly before serving (caution: only attempt this if you’re experienced with flambé techniques).
