Serving this Layered Mocktail with Grenadine for Fourth of July

We love serving this after all the grilling and snacking on pool days or July 4th get togethers. It is an easy patriotic mocktail to serve.

The only thing is that you have to make it in batches since you will be layering the colored liquid carefully. We recommend this drink for a smaller group since you will likely not want to be tied up all day in the kitchen while everyone else is outside having fun!

For more fun red, white, and blue drinks, try our patriotic milkshake over on our other website! It’s a load of cuteness for an Olympics drink or 4th of July drink, too!

Ingredients for our Patriotic Drink

2oz Grenadine
2oz Blue Poweraid
2oz Piña Colada Juice (coconut juice)
Ice Cubes

Instructions for This Layered Mocktail with Grenadine

1. Pour the grenadine into the glass.
2. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
3. Slowly pour the piña colada juice into the glass having the liquid hit an ice cube to slow down the pour even more.
4. Repeat with the blue Poweraid using the same pour technique.

Expert Tips for Layering Drinks with Blue Poweraid

Use clear, tall glasses: A clear, tall glass will allow you to see the different layers of the drink as you pour them in.
Chill the Powerade: Cold drinks tend to separate less, so make sure your Powerade is nice and cold before you start layering.
Use an ice cube or a spoon: Place a spoon over the top of the glass, with the tip of the spoon touching the inside of the glass just above the first layer. Slowly pour the second layer over the back of the spoon. This will help to slow down the pouring and create a more defined layer. You can achieve a similar effect with an ice cube.
Use a light touch: When pouring each layer, try to pour it gently and slowly so that it doesn’t disturb the layer below it.
Choose compatible liquids: If you want to create a layered drink with blue Powerade, try using other clear or light-colored liquids that won’t overpower the blue color. The piña colada juice works well here in this recipe.
Experiment with ratios: The amount of each liquid you pour into the glass will affect how the layers look. Experiment with different ratios to achieve the desired effect.
