I originally came across this beverage at
Dave & Buster's during a summer of blissful unemployment between
college and
work. The "Electric Lemonade" is a very good way to get really
FUBARed very quickly, and it tastes quite pleasant, or at the worst, innocuous. Don't be thrown by the "
lemonade" part of this drink's name. While some people make it with lemonade, I prefer to just throw a half a
lemon in the glass, or even just garnish with a
lemon wedge. Enjoy!
Recipe:
1 part tequila
2 parts Light Rum
2 parts Vodka (substitute Absolut citron for a more lemonadey taste)
2 parts Gin (Bombay Sapphire, it's Blue!)
3 parts Blue Curacao
4 parts Sprite
Mix in a pint glass with Ice and garnish a piece of lemon and drink up!
note: You will come across countless variations of the electric lemonade, most only involve the sprite, Blue Curacao, and vodka or rum. Those don't pack the same "
mad scientist" punch as the above recipe, but you are urged to experiment. Also, many places serve this drink
frozen in the summer, which is also quite good.
