    This electric blue lemonade cocktail is the perfect easy blue cocktail. All you need is a few ingredients and three minutes to pour this fabulous party cocktail that guests will love.

    Electric Lemonade Cocktail ingredients, lemonade, sprite, blue curacao, and vodka with 2 cocktails

    Ingredients

    Here is a quick overview of the simple ingredients needed to make an epic Electric Lemonade Drink! The printable recipe card at the bottom of the post includes specific measurements and step-by-step instructions.

    • Vodka or Citron Vodka
    • Blue Curaรงao
    • Lemonade
    • Spriteย 

    Optional Garnishes: Lemon Wedge/Slice, lemon wheel or Lime Wheel/Wedge

    Equipment needed

    • OXO angled jiggers - these are our go-to measuring tools for cocktails. They work perfectly for pouring in layers for cocktails.
    • Cocktail Shaker/Strainer
    • High Ball Cocktail Glass
    • Ice Cube maker - This ice cube maker produces the most amazing ice cubes perfect for your favorite cocktails. It easily fits in the freezer and you can make up to 3 trays of round ball ice at a time.
    • Cute paper straw

    How to Make Electric Lemonade

    I've included complete instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, but here's a quick version.

    1. Combine vodka, blue curacao, and lemonade in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into a glass filled with ice.
    2. Add Sprite to fill the glass.
    3. Garnish with a lemon and lime slice.

    Preparation and Storage

    Make Ahead: You can make this cocktail without the Sprite up to three days beforehand. Finish it with Sprite before serving so you get a fizzy drink.

    Storage: Store the drink mixture without Sprite in an airtight container in the fridge.

    Freezing/How to Freeze:

    You can use our Alcoholic Popsicles recipes to turn this drink into boozy popsicles perfect for cooling off from the summer heat.

    Did you know an 11-year-old accidentally made the first popsicle after leaving a soda powder and water mixture outside on a cold night?

    To make a slushy frozen drink use a blender and ice.

    ย 

    Recipe Variations

    Substitutions:

    You can also use white rum instead of vodka if you prefer the taste. Feel free to lower the vodka used if you want a lighter drink.

    If you don't have Sprite, you can use sparkling water like LaCroix in a citrus flavor. You can use club soda but it will not have the sweet lemon lime flavor of Sprite.ย 

    Vegetarian Option: This pretty blue cocktail is 100 percent vegetarian!

    Vegan Option: Look for vegan blue curaรงao to avoid cross-contamination with animal-derived ingredients.

    Gluten-Free: Look for gluten-free labels on the blue curaรงao to avoid cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients and ensure this cocktail is safe for a gluten-free diet.

    Alcohol-Free Option: Replace the blue curaรงao and vodka with NA alternatives to make Electric Lemonade Mocktails.

    Larger Group/More Servings:

    Multiply this recipe by 6 to 8 times for enough to fill a pitcher or add it to a punch bowl.

    Add ice, lemon, and lime slices to the pitcher, then add vodka, blue curaรงao and lemonade. Let guests finish their drinks with Sprite, so everyone gets a fizzy cocktail.

    Sugar-Free: The written recipe contains 12 grams of sugar per serving. Replace the blue curaรงao, lemonade, and Sprite with sugar-free substitutes to make this cocktail sugar-free.

    Tips for the Best Electric Lemonade

    • You can change how potent this cocktail is by lowering the amount of vodka used.
    • For a 4th of July cocktail, you can garnish this drink with a cherry or a handful of strawberries. You could even use a star cookie cutter to cut a piece of watermelon into star shapes.
    • TGI Fridays has a similar Electric Lemonade made with pineapple juice. Add some to your drink for a fruitier, more tropical drink.
    • Nutrition information, including calories, protein, calcium, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin C, potassium, cholesterol, sodium, trans fat, monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, and more, will vary depending on the products used.
