Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 tablespoons Blue Curaçao syrup for blue hue and citrusy sweetness
  • 2-3 tablespoons orange soda for orange flavor and fizz
  • 1.5 cups lemon-lime soda for refreshing sparkle
  • Ice for chilling
  • Orange slice and/or maraschino cherry for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Tall glass (highball)
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Stirring utensil

Method
 

  1. Grab your favorite tall glass – a highball glass works perfectly here.
  2. First, pour in your Blue Curaçao syrup. The vibrant blue color is just so cheerful!
  3. Next, add the orange soda. Just a splash is all you need to bring in that complementary citrus note.
  4. Now, pour in the lemon-lime soda. This will be the main body of your punch.
  5. Give everything a good stir to combine all those lovely flavors.
  6. Fill your glass with plenty of ice. I love using crushed ice for this because it chills the drink so quickly and makes it extra refreshing.
  7. If you’re feeling fancy (and why wouldn't you be?), add an orange slice or a maraschino cherry for a pop of color and sweetness. It’s like a little party in a glass!

Notes

For a different citrus twist, try adding a splash of grapefruit soda or even a hint of cranberry juice for a deeper red color. You could also add fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal. If you’re making this for an adult gathering, a splash of white rum or vodka would be a delightful addition!
