🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, chill your highball glass. Pop it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before you start. This simple step makes a huge difference!
- Next, grab your cocktail shaker. Fill it with ice – lots of it! Like, seriously, pack it in there.
- Now, using a jigger (or a measuring spoon if that's what you've got), add 2 ounces of vodka to your well-iced shaker.
- Follow this with 1 ounce of blue curacao. Again, use a jigger or good measuring spoon. It's crucial to get the measurements right for a balanced taste.
- Now add 3/4 of an ounce of fresh lime juice. I always say; fresh is best! No, you can't skimp on this.
- Gently but thoroughly shake for 15 seconds to chill and combine everything evenly. Make sure there is a solid ice-water mix in the shaker. (This part is fun, I always say it's part meditation.)
- Grab your chilled highball glass (so important!) and strain your electric blue curacao mix into it.
- Now, garnish with a lime wheel, or even a flamed lime peel if you're feeling fancy. (I always go fancy.)
- Finally, take a moment to admire your creation. It's stunning, right? And then, enjoy! Sip responsibly of course.
📝 Notes
- Always use fresh ingredients for the best taste!
- Adjust sweetness to your preference by adding simple syrup if needed.
- If you don’t have a jigger, use a tablespoon. 1 tablespoon is roughly equal to ½ oz
