Notes
You don't really need a shaker to make this cocktail - a spoon or straw will do just fine.
You could add a tiny sprig of mint to your drink to make it more visually appealing. Adding this will also give a fresh scent that goes well with the citrusy flavor of the cocktail.
You can put a maraschino cherry in the drink either by dropping it in, or by attaching a small cocktail skewer to it. It will go to the bottom of the glass and provide a nice contrast to the blue color of the drink.
If you're into fun and tropical vibes, you might want to open up a small paper umbrella and attach it to the side of the glass. This is a classic summer cocktail addition that can take your cocktail to the next level.
