Tips
Fresh-squeezed lemonade makes a world of difference compared to bottled — the tartness balances the sweetness of the curacao perfectly Use a quality vodka with a clean finish so it does not compete with the citrus flavors For extra visual impact, add a splash of lemonade last so the blue color pools at the bottom before you stir
