This sweet cocktail is bright blue and absolutely delicious. Made with vodka and Sprite or club soda, this cocktail is perfect for summer get-togethers with your girls. 

Because of its bright color and simple favors (it is very sweet), people who take cocktails may scoff at this drink and think that it is only for girls.

Because of the amount of mixers added to this drink, it is also one where the effects of the vodka will sneak up on you, as you’ll hardly be able to tell that there is a lot of vodka in this drink. 

This cocktail is super simple to make and will only take you around 5 minutes. Here’s how you do it. 

Top Tips for Making A Great Sex in the Driveway

Here are some extra tips you should know when making Sex in the Driveway. 

• This makes a terrific slushy drink if you have an ice cream machine! Mix until half-frozen in your ice cream machine. Alternatively, use a margarita machine as this works just as well
• It is very easy to make this cocktail into a lower-carb drink. Simply combine the vodka, sugar-free Sprite, and a few drops of electric blue Mio water enhancer in a shaker with ice. If you can find it, a sugar-free peach syrup or water enhancer can be added.
• For added color to the already bright cocktail, you could freeze Maraschino cherries inside of ice cubes and add them to the drink. This makes the drink very pretty. Also, the colors won’t bleed into each other, so you won’t have to worry about the cherries ruining the bright blue of the drink.
• This cocktail is very easy to make in large batches, so making it for parties is super simple. If you have some already, or you don’t mind buying some a great way to serve this drink is in mason jars with lids. You can put these jars in a cooler of ice, so they will stay cold and fizzy for the whole party.
• For even more flavor, you can substitute peach vodka instead of regular vodka!
