Instructions
Step 1: Chill your cocktail glass
Place your glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare.
Step 2: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice
Add a generous amount of ice to your shaker. Cold is key for this high-voltage sip.
Step 3: Add the liquors and juices
Pour in:
-
1 oz lemon vodka
-
1 oz blue curaçao
-
1 oz orange liqueur
-
½ oz lime juice
-
½ oz pineapple juice
Step 4: Shake until lightning cold
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the shaker is frosty.
Step 5: Strain and top
Dump the ice from your glass and strain the mixture in. Top with 2 oz of either lemon-lime soda (for a soft fizz) or energy drink (for full thunderbolt mode).
Step 6: Garnish and serve
Add a lemon wheel, a lime twist, or rim the glass with colored sugar. Optional: a pinch of edible glitter for that “electric storm” look!
Notes
These high-voltage drinks are forgiving, but here’s how to ensure perfect execution every time:
-
✅ Always use fresh citrus juice for brightness
-
✅ Shake hard to create a frothy texture—don’t just swirl
-
✅ If using an energy drink, add it after shaking to avoid carbonation bursts
