Ingredients Needed
How to Make an Electric Blue Lemonade Drink
First, decide the base of your drink: either lemonade or sweet and sour mix. I have used both and enjoyed every version. I have also tried both lemon flavored vodka (Absolut Citron) and unflavored vodka and both are great!
Add the vodka, lemonade, and blue Curaçao to a cocktail shaker with ice.
Cover and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to mix and chill.

Then just pour/strain the cocktail into an ice filled glass. Top with a little lemon-lime soda to give it some sparkle, and squeeze a lemon wedge to add a fresh burst of citrus.
Garnish with lemon and serve up the fun!
Serving Suggestions
You can give this drink a little patriotic vibe with a cherry garnish - perfect for the 4th of July!
Serve with some nibbly appetizers or maybe some margarita shrimp skewers to keep it light and fun!
Substitutions and Variations
I've made this drink with different types of lemonade, even the sugar free type and always loved it, so if you need to control your sugar intake, that is an easy substitution. You can even make homemade sugar free sweet and sour mix for another option.
Similarly, the soda used to top the drink can be whatever you choose: regular or sugar free, or even sparkling water, it all works! I like to keep lemon-lime versions around for that extra bit of refreshing citrus.
To make an alcohol free version, just use a few drops of blue food coloring in a glass of lemonade.
