Some might say it's impossible to improve upon lemonade, the classic summertime beverage. However, throw together a few simple ingredients and you can make electric lemonade, a refreshing cocktail that puts a new twist on an old favorite. Here's the recipe.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Vodka or light rum
• Blue curacao
• Sweet and sour mix
• Clear lemon-lime soda

1. Fill a chilled hi-ball glass with ice.

2. Add approximately 1 1/2 ounces of vodka or rum (average shot size) to the glass.

3. Add about 2 ounces of the sweet and sour mix. Add more if you prefer a drink that is more tart.

4. Add a splash of soda for a little touch of fizz.

5. Finish off the cocktail by adding a half-ounce of blue curacao for color. Stir well.

Tips & Warnings

• Try using a citrus-infused vodka or rum in this cocktail for added pucker.
• To reduce the tartness, sugar-coat the rim of the glass.
• Throw the ingredients in a blender with extra ice to make a frozen electric lemonade.
• Some people prefer using dark colas in place of clear soda. It's a matter of taste.
• If you have melon liqueur, add some to turn the cocktail into an electric popsicle.
• If you really want to get creative, try freezing some lemonade in an ice tray and using that in place of regular ice.
