Ingredients
  

Main
  • 0.75 ounce vodka
  • 0.75 ounce blue curaçao
  • 0.5 ounce fresh lime juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Lime wheel or twist for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Shot glass or mixing glass
  • Jigger for measuring
  • Bar spoon or long spoon
  • Cocktail shaker (optional)
  • Strainer (if using shaker)
  • Cutting board and knife for lime

Method
 

  1. Pull out your vodka, blue curaçao, and fresh limes before you start. Having everything ready means you won't scramble mid-pour or forget an ingredient.
  2. Cut a fresh lime in half and juice it into your jigger or a small cup. You need exactly 0.5 ounce of fresh juice, so squeezing by hand and measuring matters here.
  3. Fill your glass with fresh ice cubes. Cold ice keeps the drink crisp and prevents the flavors from becoming watered down or dull.
  4. Measure out 0.75 ounce of vodka into your jigger and pour it over the ice. Vodka forms the neutral backbone that balances the sweetness of the curaçao.
  5. Measure 0.75 ounce of blue curaçao and pour it slowly into the glass. Watch the stunning blue color bloom through the drink as you pour.
  6. Add your 0.5 ounce of fresh lime juice to the glass. This citrus component is what makes the drink taste sophisticated rather than like liquid candy.
  7. Use a bar spoon or long spoon to stir the mixture for about 10 seconds. Stirring ensures all three spirits blend together smoothly and the temperature drops evenly.
  8. Slide a lime wheel on the rim or drop a lime twist into the glass if you want extra flair. Serve immediately and enjoy the reactions from everyone who sees it.

Notes

Always use fresh lime juice for best results. Chill your glassware beforehand by filling it with ice for 30 seconds. This drink is best consumed within a minute or two of preparation. For a lighter version, add 2 ounces of chilled club soda to create a spritzer.
