Place a little bit of ice into each of your four cocktail glasses (roughly a 1/2 cup of ice in each glass)
Next, pour roughly 1 tbsp of blue curaçao into each glass, followed by 1/4-1/2 tsp edible glitter. Next, pour a 1/4 cup of rum into each glass, and finally top with the lemonade, roughly 1 cup in each glass. Give each cocktail a quick stir to swirl the glitter around.

Recipe Notes
To make this mermaid spiked lemonade by the pitcher, I would recommend doubling the amount of each ingredient. Fill a large pitcher about 1/3 of the way with ice, add the remaining ingredients, along with a handful of lemon slices, stir, and serve immediately!
If you are planning on making a pitcher of this mermaid drink for a party, I would recommend combining everything but the ice in a pitcher and popping it in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Then you can either serve it over ice or add some ice to the pitcher, then serve!
