Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh lemons
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 liters Water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 120 milliliters Blue curaçao syrup
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional)
- 4 pieces Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Juice the lemons to extract about 120 milliliters (1/2 cup) of fresh lemon juice. Set the juice aside.
In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and 250 milliliters (1 cup) of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely to make a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large pitcher, mix the lemon juice, cooled simple syrup, and the remaining 750 milliliters (3 cups) of cold water. Stir well to combine.
Gently stir in the blue curaçao syrup until it is fully incorporated and the lemonade turns a vibrant blue color.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the blue lemonade over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing blue lemonade!
