Cocktail
Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass and ice
Fill a highball glass with ice to chill while you assemble the drink. Alternatively, use a Collins glass.
Combine spirits and mixers
In a cocktail shaker fill with ice (about 3/4 full). Add 2 oz vodka, 1 oz Blue Curaçao, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup. The lemon and syrup balance the Curaçao's sweetness and brighten the cocktail.
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker feels cold and slightly frosty.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lemon wheel or twist on the rim and, if using, a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
