Ingredients:
- 1 ½ oz (45 ml) vodka
- 1 oz (30 ml) blue curaçao liqueur
- 2 oz (60 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 oz (30 ml) simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices or wedges for garnish
Instructions:
- Fill a shaker or mixing glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the vodka, blue curaçao, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker.
- Shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill the drink and combine the flavors.
- Strain the cocktail into a glass filled with ice cubes.
- Garnish with a lemon slice or wedge on the rim of the glass.
- Optionally, you can also add a maraschino cherry for extra color and sweetness.
Note: Simple syrup is a mixture of equal parts of sugar and water. To make it, heat 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it cool before using. You can store any leftover simple syrup in the refrigerator for future cocktails.
Remember to enjoy this drink responsibly, and if you want a non-alcoholic version, you can simply omit the vodka and increase the amount of lemon juice and simple syrup to your taste. Cheers!
