Ingredients

These components unite for a delightfully fizzy, blue-tinted treat:

???? 1 oz blue curaçao (for color and subtle orange flavor)
???? 1 oz fresh lemon juice (or lime juice) for bright acidity
???? 2 oz vodka (optional for an adult version)
???? 4 oz sparkling wine or prosecco (for bubbles; substitute club soda or lemon-lime soda for a mocktail)
???? ½ oz simple syrup (adjust to taste; skip for a dryer finish)
???? Crushed ice
???? Whipped cream (for a frothy top)
???? Blue sanding sugar or popping candy (for rim garnish)
???? Candy garnish (blue rock candy stick, blueberry skewer, or gummy sharks)
???? Fresh mint sprig (optional, for aroma)

Instructions

Step 1:
Moisten the rim of a tall Collins or flute glass with lemon juice, then dip into blue sanding sugar or popping candy to coat. Set aside.

Step 2:
Fill the glass about two-thirds full with crushed ice.

Step 3:
In a cocktail shaker, combine blue curaçao, fresh lemon juice, vodka (if using), simple syrup, and a handful of ice. Shake briefly—just 5–7 seconds—to mix.

Step 4:
Strain the mixture over the crushed ice in your prepared glass.

Step 5:
Top slowly with sparkling wine (or soda) to preserve the bubbles and create a gentle fizz.

Step 6:
Spoon a generous dollop of whipped cream on top for a cloud-like foam.

Step 7:
Garnish with blue candy—rock candy stick, gummy shark, or a skewer of blueberries—and tuck a fresh mint sprig alongside for aroma.

Step 8:
Serve immediately with a fun straw and watch guests’ eyes light up!

Notes

Use fresh citrus juice for the brightest, cleanest flavor—bottled juice tastes flat.
Shake lightly to avoid over-diluting; the sparkle comes from the prosecco/soda, not heavy stirring.
Crushed ice keeps the drink colder without watering it down quickly.
