Electric Lemonade is a party highball that combines vodka, blue curaçao, lemon, and lemon-lime soda. The curaçao supplies color and orange notes while lemonade acidity keeps it refreshing. Served tall over ice, it is built for summer gatherings and casual bars. Sweetness can climb quickly, so lemon juice matters as much as soda.

Bartender's Note
Shake the vodka, curaçao, and lemon first, then top with soda so carbonation stays lively.
