Ingredients
For the Cocktail:
2 oz citrus vodka
2 oz sweet & sour mix
1 oz blue curaçao
½ oz fresh lime juice
½ cup lemon-lime soda or sparkling water (optional, for fizz)
Ice cubes or crushed ice
For the Rim & Garnish:
Blue sugar crystals (for rimming the glass)
Lime wedge (to moisten the rim)
Lime wheels (for garnish inside the drink)
Life Saver gummies or gummy rings (for optional garnish on skewer or umbrella)
Instructions
Rim the glass by rubbing a lime wedge around the edge, then dipping it into blue sugar crystals for a vibrant, festive finish.
Add ice to a large round glass—crushed ice works best for layering.
Pour 1 oz of blue curaçao over the ice to form the bold blue base layer.
In a shaker, combine citrus vodka, sweet & sour mix, and fresh lime juice. Shake or stir well.
Slowly pour the yellow mixture over the back of a spoon into the glass, allowing it to float gently over the blue layer.
Top with soda or sparkling water if desired for added fizz.
Garnish with lime wheels and a skewer of Life Saver gummies or a cocktail umbrella. Serve immediately and enjoy the beach vibes!
Notes
Crushed ice helps keep the layers from mixing too quickly and creates a gorgeous gradient effect.
Make sure all liquids are chilled before assembling to keep the drink crisp and visually striking.
You can make it non-alcoholic by replacing vodka with lemon-lime soda and blue curaçao with blue raspberry syrup.
For a fun twist, try flavored vodkas like lemon, orange, or tropical fruit.
Best served fresh—assemble right before serving for that perfect look and taste!
