Blue Vanilla Lemonade | Refreshing Mojito | Summer Drink | with step by step photos and video. An orange flavored lemonade in blue color. Summer is here and it is time to celebrate with this refreshing drink.  

This drink reminded me of the crystal blue waters of a pool and is beyond refreshing. Drink is a way similar to the refreshing and sparkling variants known to be KFC Krushers or KFC Sparklers.

What is a Lemonade?

A sweetened lemon-flavored beverage. Moreover, there are varieties of lemonade found throughout the world. Traditionally, a homemade drink made using lemon juice, water, and a sweetener such as cane sugar, simple syrup or honey. 

How to make the syrup for the drink?

Heat sugar, water, a small cinnamon stick, orange zest and fresh lime juice in a saucepan. Once the sugar has dissolved in the water add a drop of blue color. Remove from heat and let the zest seep in the simple syrup for several minutes, then strain out the zest. You can store this syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later uses.

How to make Blue Vanilla Lemonade using the homemade syrup?

Blue Vanilla Lemonade | Refreshing Mojito | Summer Drink | with step by step photos and video. Any party or gathering is incomplete without a drink. This light blue colour drink is perfect for summer parties. This recipe uses a syrup which is made using the orange zest and lemon juice. This adds a lovely citrus flavour to your favorite mojito because it is infused with citrus peels. The blue color added in the recipe gives you a refreshing feel, which can be completely optional. Further, for more intense citrus flavor, you can grate the zest from one fresh lemon as well. For the mojito, fill 1/4 th of the glass with the homemade syrup and remaining glass with soda.

In addition I would like to highlight our lemon krushers, watermelonade, and trending bomb soda recipes. Hope you would try them for this hot season.
