Magic Stars-and-Stripes 4th of July Drink Recipe

Because it uses three ingredients with different sugar content, this drink, when poured carefully, separates into perfect red, white, and blue stripes. And kids love it! But don't try changing the order around, because it won't work.

If you want a more adult patriotic drink as party of your traditional 4th of July menu, try this white sangria, but use strawberries and blueberries as the fruit to give it a red, white, and blue look.

Recipe is for one drink.

Ingredients:
3 oz. cranberry juice cocktail
3 oz. blue Gatorade (the brighter blue one)
3 oz. Diet Sprite or Sprite Zero (regular won't work!)
Lots of ice

Instructions: 1. Add a few ice cubes to your class, and pour in the cranberry juice.

2. Carefully add a few more ice cubes, and pour the Gatorade in over a spoon (this helps the layers to separate).

3. Carefully add a few more ice cubes, and pour the Sprite in over a spoon.

4. Serve with a festive straw.
