Review

A vodka-charged lemonade with blue curaçao providing both the "electric" blue colour and orange notes.

The more blue curaçao you add, the more electric this cocktail. I'd go easy and drizzle 15ml max to add a blue bleed (as illustrated in our photograph).

Although I've used "organic" lemonade instead of Sprite, this is a light and refreshing drink.

You could use gin instead of vodka and name it English Electric Lightning

Too sickly sweet. I may try it again later, but my first move would be to reduce the sugar syrup by half in order to allow more tartness to come through. But by half may be too much, hmm... (6 Oct 2022, 3:19p)

I made this a few days ago, realising only at the end that I'd ran out of 7UP. I decided to use sparkling water instead and the drink was pretty good, certainly not over sweet.
