Instructions
Prepare the Glass:
- Start by chilling a hurricane glass in the freezer. This will keep your drink cold and refreshing for longer.
Combine the Ingredients:
- Pour 1 oz of vodka into the hurricane glass. Vodka provides a neutral base that allows the flavors and colors of the other ingredients to shine.
- Add 1 oz of blue curacao. This liqueur not only contributes to the cocktail's vibrant blue color but also adds a sweet, citrusy flavor.
Top with Lemonade:
- Fill the rest of the glass with lemonade. The lemonade adds a refreshing, tangy sweetness that complements the vodka and blue curacao perfectly.
Add Ice:
- Fill the glass with ice cubes to keep the cocktail chilled. The ice also helps to blend the flavors as it melts slightly.
Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with a cherry on top. The cherry adds a pop of color that contrasts beautifully with the electric blue of the drink.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
