Equipment
- highball glass or tall glass
- Measuring spoons
- bar spoon or straw for stirring
- citrus juicer optional for fresh lemons
- ice cube tray
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 tbsp blue curaçao syrup (non-alcoholic)
- 12 oz lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 slice lemon slice (optional garnish)
- 1 maraschino cherry (optional garnish)
- 1 sprig fresh mint (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass or highball glass with ice cubes to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
- Pour the fresh lemon juice over the ice to add bright citrus flavor and balance the sweetness.
- Add the blue curaçao syrup to the glass. The syrup gives the drink its signature bright blue color and light orange flavor.
- Slowly pour the chilled lemon-lime soda into the glass to create a refreshing bubbly finish.
- Gently stir the drink using a spoon or straw to combine the ingredients while keeping the soda fizzy.
- Garnish with a lemon slice, cherry, or fresh mint if desired and serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
Notes
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor. Add the soda last to maintain the carbonation and keep the drink fizzy. If you prefer a less sweet drink, replace the lemon-lime soda with sparkling water or club soda and add a little honey or simple syrup. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
