Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare and shake

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup). Add 1.5 oz vodka, 1 oz blue curaçao, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (omit or reduce if you prefer less sweet). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled.

2

Strain over ice

Fill a highball glass with fresh ice. Strain the shaken mixture into the glass, leaving enough room at the top to top with soda (about 3 oz).

3

Top and finish

Gently top the drink with 3 oz Sprite (or lemon-lime soda). Stir once very gently with a bar spoon to combine — avoid overmixing to preserve the bright blue color and carbonation.

Garnish & Serve

4

Thread a maraschino cherry onto a cocktail pick (optional) and place it on top of the drink or drop it into the glass. Float or clip a lemon slice on the rim. Insert a straw if desired and serve immediately.
