Ingredients
Scale
- 1 oz (30 ml) Blue Curaçao
- 1 oz (30 ml) grenadine
- 4 oz (120 ml) lemon-lime soda
- Ice cubes
- Optional garnish: fresh strawberry or small American flag toothpick
Instructions
- Fill your glass with ice cubes, about 3/4 full (6-8 medium-sized cubes).
- Pour 1 oz (30 ml) of grenadine directly over the ice to create the red base layer.
- Slowly pour 4 oz (120 ml) of lemon-lime soda over the back of a bar spoon to form the white middle layer.
- Carefully add 1 oz (30 ml) of Blue Curaçao over the back of the spoon on top to create the blue crown layer.
- Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a small festive flag if desired.
- Serve immediately and encourage sipping slowly to enjoy the layers or stir for a mixed flavor.
Notes
Pour each layer slowly over the back of a spoon to keep layers distinct. Chill glass and ingredients beforehand. Use fresh ice to avoid dilution. If grenadine is too thick, warm slightly to loosen. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Blue Curaçao with blue raspberry syrup or blue sports drink and reduce grenadine slightly.
