Notes
Use lemonade that’s cold and not overly sweet; fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor and keeps the drink from reading too sweet. Lighten with a splash of soda water, or bump the pineapple juice by 0.5 oz for extra tropical notes. Keep blue curaçao steady for a bold color, and don’t skimp on ice to keep everything crisp.
