Equipment

large pitcher
citrus juicer
fine mesh sieve
small saucepan
measuring cups
bar spoon
serving glasses

Ingredients

1 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup simple syrup
3 cups sparkling water
3 tbsp blue curaçao syrup
2 cups ice cubes
4-8 slices lemon slices
1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

Cut lemons in half, juice them, and strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp and seeds.
Prepare simple syrup by heating sugar and water together until completely dissolved, then cool to room temperature.
Fill a large pitcher with ice cubes.
Pour the fresh lemon juice into the pitcher over the ice.
Add the cooled simple syrup and stir thoroughly to combine.
Pour the blue curaçao syrup into the pitcher and stir gently.
Add a pinch of sea salt and stir lightly to enhance flavor.
Slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water while stirring gently to preserve carbonation.
Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness with extra syrup or lemon juice if desired.
Fill serving glasses with fresh ice and pour the electric lemonade evenly among the glasses.
Garnish each glass with lemon slices and serve immediately.

Notes

Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor and add sparkling water just before serving to preserve carbonation. Chill all ingredients beforehand to keep the drink cold and vibrant without excessive ice dilution.
