Description
A refreshing and visually stunning layered drink perfect for patriotic celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups lemonade (preferably homemade or store-bought)
- 2 cups blue sports drink (like Gatorade)
- 2 cups cranberry juice
- Ice cubes
- Fresh berries (strawberries and blueberries) for garnish
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by filling a clear glass or a mason jar with ice cubes to keep the drink chilled.
- Slowly pour the lemonade into the glass, filling it about one-third of the way.
- Next, carefully pour the blue sports drink over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to create a layered effect. Fill the glass until it is two-thirds full.
- Finally, repeat the layering process with the cranberry juice, pouring it gently to maintain the layers. Fill the glass to the top.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries and blueberries on top, and add a mint leaf for a refreshing touch if desired.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon to mix the layers before drinking.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, keep it as is, or add a splash of club soda for some fizz.
- To make it a festive adult drink, consider adding a shot of vodka or rum to the lemonade layer.
