Easy Party Punch for the 4th of July Alcoholic
What could be more cute than a layered punch on the 4th of July? These are really simple to make, look adorable and taste great!
The key to making this recipe work is to look at the sugar content of each item you are pouring! You want to go from the highest sugar content on the bottom to the least sugar on the top in order to keep the layers separate!
When you pour each layer, be sure to pour very slowly over an ice cube or over the back of a spoon. The slower you can pour, the better.
It's best if these are made just before serving! The layers will stay separated for a bit however the ice will begin to melt.
Canadian fans… you can leave off the blue and use a high sugar bottom layer (cranberry cocktail) and a middle layer of white with a low sugar red top layer such as G2 (by Gatorade). I would suggest making the middle white layer a little bit thicker in order to see the definition a bit better!
And… I had a little helper who stood by my photo shoot waiting so she could drink them! :)
