- 1 oz Blue Curaçao 
- 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
- 3 oz Lemon-Lime Soda
- A sprinkle of Edible Silver Star Glitter (for that mystical touch)
- Dry Ice (optional, for a cauldron-like effect)

**Instructions:**
1. In a shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, blue curaçao, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.
2. Shake vigorously until well-chilled.
3. Strain the mixture into a chilled highball glass filled with ice.
4. Gently pour the lemon-lime soda to give it a fizzy kick.
5. Add a pinch of the edible silver star glitter over the top to evoke a starry night sky.
