Fizz Preservation: Add carbonated ingredients last and avoid overstirring to maintain bubbles.

Begin by preparing the rim decoration mixture in a shallow plate.

Run a lemon wedge around the rim of each highball glass to moisten.

Dip each glass rim into the blue sugar mixture to create a sparkling blue rim.

Fill cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.

Add vodka, blue curaçao, lemon juice, and lime juice to the shaker.

Pour in simple syrup and blueberry syrup.

Add vanilla extract and orange blossom water for depth of flavor.

Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty.

Fill prepared rimmed glasses with a mixture of crushed ice and ice cubes.

Double-strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glasses, filling 2/3 full.

Slowly top with lemon-lime soda for fizz, pouring over the back of a spoon.

Add a splash of club soda for additional effervescence.

If needed, add a drop of blue food coloring and stir gently to enhance color.

Sprinkle a pinch of edible shimmer dust on the surface for a magical effect.

Thread two blueberries onto each cocktail stirrer for garnish.

Carefully place a lemon wheel and lime wheel on the rim of each glass.

Insert a blue rock candy stick into each drink as an edible stirrer.

Add a paper umbrella for a playful tropical touch.

Place a food-safe glow stick under the glass for dramatic lighting effect.

Serve immediately while fizz is active and drink is properly chilled.

Instruct guests to stir gently before sipping to mix all the flavors.

For a mocktail version, replace vodka with white grape juice.

For a stronger version, add an additional 1/2 oz vodka per serving.
