Storage
We’ve got a few handy tips for planning ahead and storing the components of the cocktail.
MAKE AHEAD: While this mocktail is best when enjoyed freshly made, you can certainly prepare parts of it ahead to save some time.
Mix the blue curaçao and lemon in advance, but hold off on adding the lemon-lime soda and garnishes until you’re ready to serve.
This way, you can keep the vibrant blue hue and fizzy freshness when you’re ready to enjoy.
IN THE FRIDGE: This refreshing mocktail is best served immediately and will not keep in the fridge.
IN THE FREEZER: We don’t recommend freezing this drink. It is best made fresh.
