Notes
- Vodka: Use your preferred brand of vodka.
- Blue Curaçao: Blue curaçao is an orange-flavored liqueur with a vibrant blue color. It’s essential for achieving the drink’s signature look.
- Grenadine: Grenadine is a non-alcoholic pomegranate syrup that adds sweetness and a red color.
- Sprite: You can use any lemon-lime soda, such as Sprite, 7-Up, or Sierra Mist.
- Layering: The different densities of the liquids will naturally create a layered effect, with the grenadine sinking to the bottom.
- Garnishes: Get creative with your garnishes! In addition to star sprinkles, you could use a lime wedge, an orange slice, or even a spooky Halloween-themed garnish.
