Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely to make a simple syrup. Remove from heat and add 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves. Let steep for 15 minutes, then strain out the mint leaves.
  2. Step 2: In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup fresh lemon juice, the cooled mint simple syrup, and 3 cups cold water. Stir well.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 tbsp blue curaçao syrup to the lemonade mixture and stir until evenly colored a pale icy blue.
  4. Step 4: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade mixture halfway. Top with chilled 1/2 cup club soda per glass for fizz.
  5. Step 5: Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and serve immediately.
