Delicious Drinks

Layered Red, White & Blue

You’ll need liquids with different sugar amounts. This will keep the liquids from mixing with each other. Start with the liquid with the highest sugar content first – that’s the heaviest and will sit on the bottom – and end with the liquid with the least amount of sugar on the top.

See below for the ingredient options we suggest and step by step instructions for getting the best layered color results!

Collapsible content

What You’ll Need

  • 8 oz ice (fill your cup)
  • 1/3 cup (approx) of each red, white, and blue drink of your choice (options below)

LAYER OPTIONS –

Red Drinks:

  • Strawberry Daquiri Mix
  • Cranberry Juice Cocktail
  • Hawaiian Punch
  • Strawberry Lemonade

White Drinks:

  • Pina Colada Mix
  • Sobe Pina Colada
  • Sprite or 7 Up
  • Lemonade
  • Pineapple Juice

Blue Drinks:

  • Cool Blue Gatorade Zero
  • Mixed Berry Powerade Zero

Instructions

  • ICE – Fill your cup with ice all the way to the top & add a straw, if wanted. (Adding it at the end will mix the layers.)
  • NOTE – Size matters when it comes to selecting ice cubes for this drink. Crushed or small ice cubes won’t work because they melt too fast and cause the colors to blend. If you don’t want to add ice to your drinks, you can pour each layer over an upside-down spoon.
  • LAYER – Slowly pour the drink with the most sugar directly over the ice (ex. Strawberry Daiquiri Mix).
  • SETTLE – Give it a few seconds to let it settle to the bottom, then pour the drink with the next highest sugar content, very slowly, directly over the ice. If you pour directly onto a layer of liquid instead of onto the ice, your beverage colors will mix. (ex. 2nd layer-Pina Colada Mix).
  • FINISH – After your second layer has settled, you can add additional ice cubes, if needed, then slowly pour the last color drink directly on top of the ice.
  • GARNISHES. Add a sliced strawberry, blueberries, or some fresh mint leaves and you’re good to go!
  • SERVE. These drinks are best served immediately after pouring them. The layers should stay separated unless mixed, but the ice will start to melt & will water down each layer.
