Can you make this drink ahead of time?

It is best to serve this drink right away, otherwise the layers will blend together and it will go flat.

Can this be enjoyed as a mocktail?

Yes! This can be a kid-friendly drink by eliminating the vodka and replacing the curacao with blue raspberry soda or blue Gatorade.
