WATCH: Mermaid Lemonade Recipe

A part of me, rest assured the lower part, has always wanted to be a mermaid. Perhaps the secret to becoming one is to sip like one. An amazing recipe with only 5 ingredients (not including ice) on Delish is certain to at least make us feel like Ariel.

INGREDIENTS

2 c. ice

1/4 c. blue curaçao

1 c. white rum

2 c. lemonade 

4 lemon slices

8 maraschino cherries

DIRECTIONS

1. Put 1/4 cup ice in each glass, then add a splash of blue curaçao, 1/4 cup rum, and another 1/4 cup ice. (The ice helps with the ombré.) Pour over 1/2 cup lemonade.
2. Skewer a lemon slice and 2 maraschino cherries on a paper umbrella or toothpick and garnish drinks before serving.

Recipe yields four servings. Recipe and directions all come from Lindsay Funston at www.delish.com
