Servings: 1
Ingredients
- ice
- 1 can of Cherry 7-Up
- 1 oz of Grenadine
- 1/4 cup of Pina colada mix
- 1 cup of Blueberry Kool-Aid you can also use blue Gatorade or Blue Hawaiian juice
- Cherries for a garnish
Instructions
- Fill a large glass with large ice cubes.
- Pour the Cherry 7-UP and 1 oz of grenadine mixture into the glass until it fills about 1/3 of the way. The grenadine gives it that bright red color.
- Hold a spoon upside down just above the red layer and slowly pour the piña colada mix over the back of the spoon to create the white center layer. Fill another 1/3 of the glass.
- Slowly pour the Blueberry Kool-Aid (or blue drink of choice) over the back of the spoon to create the blue top layer.
- Garnish with cherries and add a festive star-and-stripe straw if desired.
- Serve immediately before the layers start to combine.
Notes
Note: To successfully layer this drink, you will need a spoon.
- First, fill your glass of choice with ice.
- Next, fill about 1/3 of the cup with cherry soda and grenadine.
- Now, slightly angle your spoon into the glass with the backside facing up. Slowly pour the piña colada mix over the backside of the spoon and fill the glass about 1/3 of the way up.
- Using the same technique, slowly pour the blue Gatorade over the back of the spoon to finish off the layers.
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry and festive straw.
