Most of the recipes listed below are layered drinks. Be sure to serve them in tall clear glasses to show off those red, white, and blue layers.
Red Layer
Some great ideas for creating a red layer in drinks are strawberry margarita, daiquiri, punch, cherry grenadine mix with vodka or white rum, cranberry juice, or fruit punch Gatorade.
White Layer
To make a white second layer, add a white drink like pina colada mix, lemon-lime soda, lemonade, glacier cherry Gatorade, coconut milk, white wine, or white rum.
Blue Layer
And finally, the best way to make a blue layer is with blue raspberry Gatorade, blue curaçao, UV blue vodka, blue Hawaiian Punch, berry lemonade Sunkist, blueberry margarita, Hypnotiq, or blue Kinky liqueur.
