Layered drinks are a perfect way to represent your American pride with red, white, and blue themed drinks!
1. Patriotic Spritzer
GiphyI've been exploring different drinks since my 21st birthday in March, and wine spritzers have become a new favorite of mine. This recipe uses white wine layered with raspberries and blueberries in light of independence day festivities! If you're a wine family like mine, you will absolutely love this recipe
2. Adult Snow Cones
GiphyIf you want the perfect adult drink, for your perfect inner child. Try this red, white, and blue snow cones! All you need is some grenadine, blue curacao, and some shaved ice. Take it from someone who hates the taste of alcohol, I was exposed to Blue Curacao when I visited Curacao last summer, and I went home with two bottles!
3. Jello shots!
GiphyNow for those college pool parties, Jello shots are perfect! All you need is red, white, and blue jello mix, some shooter glasses, and whipped cream to spice it up a bit! This recipe uses blueberry vodka, but I prefer an unflavored alcohol, or even white wine over vodka
4. Ice Pops!
GiphyGoing off of the pool party vibe, ice pops are perfect to hand out by the pool! This recipe is very similar to the jello shot recipe, so if you have some jello left over try this! In my opinion, they are safer to bring to big parties, especially if you're far from home, since they aren't drinks, and you can ensure nobody is spiking you.
5. Patriot's Martini
GiphyShaking or stirred, this is a classic addition to any fourth of July BBQ. If you still have blue curacao and grenadine left over, grab some vodka and a shaker and make this patriotic martini. The cherry on top completes the whole vibe!
Please be safe this 4th of July! Drink responsible, watch over each other, and remember Uber and Lyft are always available - there is not reason to every drink and drive!
