Recipe Tips
- Lemon curd is available at most grocery stores near the jams and jellies. Bonne Maman makes the best store-bought version.
- For a sweeter version, increase simple syrup to 1.5 oz.
- Yellow sugar can be made by mixing white sugar with a drop of yellow food coloring.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: Batch the liquid base, but save cookie crumbles, whipped topping, or a decorative rim for individual glasses so the presentation stays neat.
Easy swaps: Use crushed graham crackers or a similar cookie for a compatible rim. Use vanilla or chocolate syrup as a simple stand-in for a specialty dessert flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this sweet enough for dessert?
Yes, but you can increase sweetness gradually after tasting the chilled drink.
Can I skip the cookie garnish?
Absolutely. The liquid base is designed to stand on its own.
