Ingredients
Creating this beautiful beverage requires a handful of simple ingredients, each adding its own unique touch. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups of chilled lemonade
- 1 cup of blue curacao syrup (non-alcoholic)
- 1/2 cup of coconut water
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
- A handful of fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices for garnish
If you’re unable to find blue curacao syrup, consider using a blue raspberry syrup as a substitute to maintain that lovely azure hue. The coconut water can be replaced with club soda for an extra fizz.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to craft your magical blue beverage:
- Start by filling a large pitcher with ice cubes. This will ensure your drink is wonderfully chilled.
- Pour in the 2 cups of chilled lemonade, allowing it to mingle with the coolness of the ice.
- Add the 1 cup of blue curacao syrup, letting it cascade slowly to create a beautiful visual effect.
- Gently stir in the 1/2 cup of coconut water, followed by the tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. The citrus adds a lovely tang to the sweetness.
- Give the mixture a gentle stir, ensuring all the flavors are well combined.
- Pour the drink into individual glasses, garnishing each with a sprig of fresh mint and a lemon slice for that extra special touch.
As you prepare this, remember how my mum taught me that stirring with a wooden spoon adds a touch of love and nostalgia to any recipe. It’s the little things that make a difference.
