  • 4 ounces lemonade Use your preferred lemonade or sweet and sour mix.

  • to taste fresh lemon juice Optional, for an extra citrusy kick.
  • to fill glass ice Enough to fill your glass and shaker.
  • 1 slice lemon For garnish, either a wedge or a wheel.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  2. Pour the vodka, blue curaçao, and lemonade into the shaker.
  3. Vigorously shake the mixture for about 30 seconds until well-chilled.
  4. Fill a tall glass (like a highball or Collins glass) with ice.
  5. Strain the mixed contents into the prepared glass over the ice.
  6. Add a splash of lemon-lime soda to enhance the fizz.
  7. Garnish with a lemon wedge or wheel for presentation.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka and blue curaçao with blue raspberry-flavored Kool-Aid mixed with lemon-lime soda. Experimenting with rum or tequila offers unique flavor profiles. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup or fresh lemon juice.
