With the hot weather and patriotic atmosphere of Fourth of July, it only makes sense that you should have a red, white, and blue cocktail to cool you off. After searching Pinterest I finally found this adult drink that actually looked good and easy to make! (I ran across a few red, white, and blue layered shots but they seemed difficult and a little too strong for my taste). I tweaked the recipe a little bit so that it would require a few less ingredients and it still tasted great!
Here’s what you will need (Makes 3 Servings) :
If you want to make this for the kids, take out the rum and substitute Blue Curacao for a little blue food coloring and blue gatorade.
Red
- 1/2 Cup of Frozen Strawberries
- 1/2 Cup of Frozen Watermelon
- 2 Tbsp of White Rum
- 1/2 Tbsp of sugar
- 1/2 Cup of Ice
White
- 1/2 Cup Sorbet
- 2 Tbsp of White Rum
- 1 Tbsp of Lime Juice
- 1/2 Cup of Ice
Blue
- 1 Cup of Ice
- 3 Tbsp of Blue Curacao
- 2 Tbsp of White Rum
- 2 Tbsp of Lime Juice
- 1 Tbsp of Sugar
I used the Nija blender which made it super easy to blend the 3 different colors separately.
Then layer them in whatever order you would like. I tried red white and blue, and red blue and white.
If you want to pin this to one of your Pinterest boards, I made a Pinterest friendly graphic below. Have a great 4th of July!
