Description

A fun, colorful, and refreshing layered drink perfect for patriotic holidays like the 4th of July. Made with kid-safe ingredients, it’s a festive treat for all ages.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup cranberry juice (red layer)
  • 1 cup blue sports drink (blue layer)
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda or clear soda (white layer)
  • Ice cubes


Instructions

  1. Fill a clear glass to the top with ice cubes. The ice helps separate the layers.
  2. Slowly pour cranberry juice over the ice to form the red layer.
  3. Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda over the back of a spoon to create the white layer on top of the red juice.
  4. Finally, gently pour the blue sports drink over the spoon to form the top blue layer.
  5. Serve immediately with a festive straw or decoration.

Notes

  • Use drinks with different sugar contents to ensure layering — highest sugar content goes at the bottom.
  • Pour each layer slowly over the back of a spoon to avoid mixing.
  • Can be made in larger pitchers or drink dispensers for parties.
