Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup red fruit punch or cranberry juice (high sugar content)
- 1 cup white lemonade (medium sugar content)
- 1 cup blue sports drink or blue raspberry drink (low sugar content)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Fill a clear glass or cup to the top with ice cubes. The more ice, the better the layers will hold.
- Pour the red fruit punch slowly into the glass, filling it about one-third of the way.
- Next, gently pour the lemonade over the back of a spoon to layer it on top of the red punch, filling another third of the glass.
- Finally, slowly add the blue sports drink the same way, pouring it gently over the spoon to float it on top.
- Garnish with fresh berries or mini flags if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.
Notes
- Layering works best when drinks have different sugar content—highest sugar goes on the bottom.
- Use clear cups to show off the vibrant red, white, and blue layers.
- For a larger batch, layer in a pitcher and pour carefully into glasses.
