Tips and Tricks

Fresh Ingredients

Using fresh lemons rather than bottled lemon juice will significantly enhance the flavor of your lemonade. Fresh lemon juice has a brighter, more complex taste.

Adjusting Sweetness

Taste your lemonade before adding the Blue Curacao. If it's too tart, add more simple syrup. If it's too sweet, add more lemon juice. The balance of sweet and tart is crucial for the perfect lemonade.

Storing

Blue Curacao Lemonade is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure to give it a good stir before serving, as the ingredients can settle.

FAQ

After you make your lemonade, you should enjoy it with some breakfast bruschetta, some watermelon goat cheese salad, or some chicken mango salad.
