🔪 Instructions

This electric lemonade co*cktail goes together really fast and easy!

This is an overview of the instructions. Full instructions are in the green recipe card at the bottom of the page.

1. Add vodka, blue curaçao, lemonade to an ice filled shaker.
2. Shake well. This adds oxygen bubbles to the mixture which enhances the flavor.
3. Strain into an ice filled glass.
4. Add the club soda or lemon lime soda to taste.
5. Squeeze in a little lime and lemon.
6. Add a lime and/or lemon wheel for garnish.

🥫 Storage

You can mix the alcohol and lemonade up to 3 days ahead of time and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge. Just add the Sprite or club soda when you're ready to serve.

📖Variations

Got kids? Make them their own, kid friendly, non-alcoholic Electric Lemonade mocktail by mixing half blue Kool Aid and half Sprite, then dropping in a lime wheel.

You can use the blue gatorade instead of the Kool Aid.

💭 Things to know

Expert Tip: Pour the mixture into a freezer container and freeze until slushy! It's so good that way!

• Change the number of servings to "8" to make a great pitcher drink. All of the ingredient measurements will increase. If you don't know how to do this there are instructions on the Start Here page.
• Save calories by using club soda instead of lemon lime soda!
• Add some lemon and lime wheels to the glass or pitcher for pretty presentation and extra flavor.
• I like to use this drink for 4th of July entertaining. Garnish with a cherry and a square of honeydew melon on a pick... or use a small star shaped cookie cutter to cut the honeydew into stars.

📞 The last word

You've gotta love a bright blue summer co*cktail! This is one of my favorite vodka drinks because it's sweetly tropical with a little sparkle. The perfect party punch, and a little less blush inducing to say than the Sex in the Driveway!

Personally, I don't think there's anything as civilized as the practice of co*cktails by the pool in the summer. Not that I have a pool but sometimes I'll stick my feet in the old horse tank and pretend.

To me, a co*cktail like this beautiful, blue electric lemonade recipe is a way to force myself to take a break and allow myself to relax. It breaks the day up between work and not-work.

Kinda tastes like a vacation.

Shake up this pretty, blue summer co*cktail and let the party begin! It makes a great pitcher drink, too.
