Ingredients
-
0.5 oz grenadine (for the “gravity” base 🌍)
-
1.5 oz vodka
-
1 oz blue curaçao
-
Sprite (to top)
-
Ice cubes
Optional Garnish
-
Banana slice
-
Mint sprig
Instructions
Step 1: Add grenadine to your glass
In a tall glass filled with ice, pour 0.5 oz grenadine first. This heavy syrup will settle at the bottom, creating a beautiful layered effect.
Step 2: Mix vodka and blue curaçao
In a separate shaker or measuring cup, combine 1.5 oz vodka with 1 oz blue curaçao. Stir or shake lightly.
Step 3: Slowly layer over grenadine
Pour the vodka and curaçao mixture gently over the back of a spoon onto the grenadine layer. This helps preserve the layers and keeps the colors distinct.
Step 4: Top with Sprite
Slowly top the drink with Sprite or another lemon-lime soda. Pour gently to maintain the color gradient and give the drink a sparkling finish.
Step 5: Garnish and serve
Add a banana slice on the rim and a fresh mint sprig on top. Serve with a straw and stir if desired once served.
Notes
-
Always pour slowly over a spoon when layering to maintain the visual effect
-
Use a clear glass to show off the layers and color contrast
-
Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of grenadine or Sprite
-
Blue curaçao adds citrus notes and the vibrant hue—don’t skip it
-
Banana garnish adds a playful moon-like aesthetic and slight fruit aroma
