Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ oz Blue Curacao
  • 1 oz Vodka clear
  • 1 oz Lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ oz Simple syrup
  • 2 oz Lemon-lime soda for fizz
  • Ice cubes
  • Edible glitter or shimmer powder preferably in gold or silver
  • Sugar for rimming the glass
  • Purple or pink star-shaped garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Glass
  • Begin by rimming your glass with sugar. Wet the rim with a small amount of lemon juice and dip it into sugar to create a sparkly effect.
  • Mix the Cocktail
  • In a cocktail shaker, add the Blue Curacao, vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake well to combine.
  • Build the Drink
  • Add ice cubes to your prepared glass. Slowly pour the mixed cocktail over the ice, allowing the colors to swirl naturally as you pour.
  • Add the Fizz
  • Top off the drink with lemon-lime soda to add a refreshing fizz and give the drink that "swirl" effect.
  • Finish with Magic
  • Sprinkle a pinch of edible glitter into the drink to add some shimmer. It’ll gently float around, creating the perfect starry effect.
  • Garnish
  • Add a star-shaped garnish to the rim of the glass for that extra touch of sparkle.

Notes

💫 Pro Tip: Create Your Own Swirl Effect!

If you’d like to enhance the swirl, pour the ingredients slowly over a spoon, letting them mix naturally as they fall into the glass. This will help create those dreamy, galaxy-like layers.
