Ingredients

  • 4 ounces lemonade
  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 2 ounces blue curacao
  • 2 ounces cherry vodka
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a 16 ounce cocktail glass add the blue curacao. Then fill the cup ¾ of the way up with ice.
  2. Add the vodka and lemonade to a cocktail shaker. Gently shake for a couple of seconds and slowly pour over ice in glass.
  3. Hold a spoon over the glass. Slowly and gently pour the cherry vodka over the back of the spoon.
  4. Garnish with festive straws or a flag and enjoy!

Notes

  • Slowly pour every single layer of liquid so that they don’t mix together and the layers are still visible.
  • Slice strawberries thinly and garnish the side of the glass with one or two for a fresh fruit garnish that is still patriotic!
  • Do not substitute ingredients! It may be tempting, but the different densities of these ingredients is what makes it possible for layers to form.
