Cocktail Instructions
Cut a thicker ring of lemon, approximately ¼ inch thick. Cut the circle into triangles. Cut a small slit into the middle of the rind edge of the triangle, just past the rind (not too far up) and not on a seam of the lemon segments. Set these aside.
Pour the blue curacao and grenadine into a cocktail shaker.
Add the vodka and a large scoop of ice.
Shake the vodka mixture for 30 seconds, until the shaker is very cold.
Fill the cocktail glass with ice. Strain the vodka into the glass.
Top with lemonade as needed to be full (may need more or less than 4 ounces).
Garnish with a lemon wedge and a ping pong eyeball. Serve.
