Method
Cocktail
Combine ingredients
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup). Add 2 oz vodka, 0.5 oz blue curaçao, 2 oz cranberry juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup into the shaker. If using activated charcoal for a deeper purple hue, add a very small pinch (about 0.1 tsp).
Shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled and slightly aerated.
Strain
Strain the mixture into the prepared chilled coupe or a rocks glass filled with fresh ice, using a fine strainer if you used activated charcoal to catch any particles.
Add sparkle (optional)
If you want a fizzy finish, top the drink with about 1 oz sparkling water or club soda. This lightens and brightens the texture without significantly diluting the color.
Garnish
Garnish with an edible flower or a lime wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.
