Ingredients
Scale
Main Spirits:
- 2 ounces (59 milliliters) vodka
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) blue curacao
Mixers and Citrus:
- 1/2 ounce (15 milliliters) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce (15 milliliters) simple syrup
Garnish and Dilution:
- Ice cubes
- Lemon twist or blue candy flame
Instructions
- Chill a martini glass in the freezer to ensure a frosty presentation.
- Load a cocktail shaker with a generous handful of ice cubes to create the perfect dilution and temperature.
- Pour the vodka, blue curaçao, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker with precision.
- Seal the shaker tightly and execute a vigorous, rhythmic shake for approximately 12 seconds to thoroughly blend and cool the liquid mixture.
- Position a fine-mesh strainer over the chilled martini glass to capture any ice fragments and ensure a silky-smooth cocktail.
- Gently pour the luminous blue liquid into the glass, allowing it to cascade smoothly without disturbing its pristine surface.
- Craft an elegant garnish by carefully twisting a vibrant lemon peel or delicately positioning a playful blue candy flame along the glass rim to enhance the cocktail’s visual appeal and hint at its electrifying flavor profile.
Notes
- Chill your martini glass beforehand to keep the cocktail frosty and refreshing.
- Use fresh-squeezed lemon juice for a brighter, more vibrant flavor profile compared to bottled juice.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the simple syrup amount, allowing customization for different taste preferences.
- For a lower-calorie version, substitute regular simple syrup with a zero-calorie sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
