04 - Pour the bright blue mixture into your sugar-rimmed glass with fresh ice or straight up in a martini glass if you'd rather.

05 - Pour some fizzy lemon-lime drink on top to add bubbles and boost the taste.

06 - Top with a swirl of fluffy cream and sprinkle some blue sugar for that perfect 'Papa Smurf' look.

07 - Best when sipped right away while cold and fresh.

01 - Add a tiny bit of blue coloring if you want a deeper blue than your syrup gives.

02 - Keep your ingredients cold before mixing for an extra refreshing sip.

03 - Try transparent ice to show off the pretty blue color better.

04 - Want more fruit taste? Crush some fresh or frozen raspberries at the bottom.

05 - Making for a party? Just multiply everything and add a whole bottle of soda with dollops of cream on top.

06 - For a creamier drink, go with coconut cream instead of the water version.
