Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Blue curaçao syrup (non-alcoholic)
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Simple syrup
- 1.5 cups Sparkling water or club soda
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 stick Black licorice (optional, for garnish)
- 1 wedge Lime wedge (optional, for garnish)
- 1 drop Red gel food coloring (optional, for dramatic effect)
Instructions
Fill a tall glass with 1 cup of ice cubes to keep your drink chilled and refreshing.
In a separate small mixing bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine the blue curaçao syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup. Stir well until fully blended.
Pour the blue mixture over the ice in your tall glass, creating the initial vibrant base of your mocktail.
Slowly pour the sparkling water or club soda over the blue mixture, allowing it to combine gently and retain its bright color.
If desired, use a toothpick to drop 1 drop of red gel food coloring into the drink. Watch as it swirls into spooky, blood-like streaks without fully mixing, creating a dramatic effect.
Garnish the drink with a black licorice stick for a creepy touch or a lime wedge to add extra citrus flair.
Serve immediately with a fun straw and enjoy your spooky 'blue blood' creation!
