Electric Jelly Recipe

1 drink5 minutesHighball or Collins glassVodka

Make a Electric Jelly with exact single-serve ingredients and method, plus a pitcher version and the Craft Standard build for serving it on tap.

The short answer

A Electric Jelly combines vodka, blue curacao, and water in a bright, tart and easy-drinking spiked lemonade. Make one with the recipe below; when you need a full service rather than a single glass, the keg build scales the same idea without scaling the prep.

Substitutions

  • Use club soda for a lighter, sparkling finish, or cold water for a classic still lemonade.

Make a pitcher

8 cocktails
  • 10 oz Vodka
  • 2 oz Blue Curacao
  • 4 oz Water
  • 2 oz 1 keg Classic Lemonade Keg
  • 2 oz .5-.75oz per cocktail Tingala
  • 4 oz simple syrup

For a pitcher of eight, multiply every still ingredient by eight and chill the mix before service. Add soda, ginger beer or any other sparkling ingredient to each glass just before serving; batching carbonation early makes the drink go flat.

Want to make it at scale?

Making one Electric Jelly is straightforward. Making a full service means measuring, chilling and repeating that spec all night. The Craft Standard Lemonade keg keeps the same flavor direction, but moves the prep into one keg build so every serve comes from the tap.
