Hello July 2016!
With you comes one of the best holidays of the year, Fourth of July. And there's nothing quite like spending the day surrounded by family, friends, good food, great weather, and ending it with fireworks from all directions.
Well prepare yourself, because now, you can add fun drinks to the already fun filled day, (and some of these recipes are sure to make your holiday even more explosive)!
STARTING WITH DRINKS THE LITTLE ONES WILL LOVE!
Such a fun and cool drink for the kids to slurp down! This easy recipe calls for majority Cherry Sprite and Blueberry Kool-Aid. Also recommends adding a splash of grenadine and some pina colada mix for extra flavor. Feel free to get creative and mix up other flavors or sodas!
Really you can use any three kid-friendly red, white, and blue, colored drinks that you think would taste good together for this punch!
Click the link for an explanation on how to get this just right, and learn how to get the layered look. And the Twizzlers straw is the perfect addition to this beverage! The kiddies are sure to love this one.
These JELL-O shots are super easy, look great, and are able to be made with or without alcohol! Take an ordinary JELL-O recipe, make it with Cherry and Berry Blue JELL-O, add whipped topping and layer it in shot glasses, (plastic recommended).

ANOTHER REFRESHMENT, PLEASE!
A perfect day for this festive and refreshing mojito! You mix lime juice, simple syrup, mint, strawberries and blueberries. Add rum and stir. Fill your glass with ice and top with some club soda. Garnish with a skewer of strawberries and blueberries and sprinkle edible glitter stars on top for some 4th of July fun!
THE SPARKLERS AREN'T THE ONLY THINGS SPARKLING!
There's already so much to do as you prepare for the holiday, but this two ingredient cocktail will be the perfect drink for the pitcher. Place watermelon pieces, (that you can cut into star shapes), and blueberries in the bottom of a pitcher. Pour in white wine and soda, and mix gently. Serve with a few fruit pieces in each cup.
As an extra tip: Keep the fruit and liquids chilled in the refrigerator until just before serving.
THE HEAT WILL BE THE PERFECT EXCUSE TO SLURP ON THIS SLUSH ALL DAY LONG!
Red, White, and Blue Vodka Lemonade Slush
Although this drink is required to be served immediately, this slush will be sure to keep you and your loved ones cool all day, (and get you feeling some type of way). It's patriotic look will also make slurping this slush even more fun! ---- Click the link for the detailed recipe.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! BE SAFE. DRINK RESPONSIBLY. AND BE AWARE OF DRUNK DRIVERS.
