MAKING IT • RECIPE
PAT R I O T I C P U N C H INGREDIENTS: ›› Cran-cherry Juice ›› (kid-friendly) Piña Colada Juice ›› Blue Gatorade
INSTRUCTIONS: ›› Patriotic Punch is made by
layering red, white, and blue drinks together. These drinks can be any type of drink that is red, white, and blue! The trick to layering is to be sure that you know each drink’s sugar content. The larger the difference is in sugar content, the better your drink will rest in layers. The drink with the most sugar should be the bottom layer, and the layer on top should have the least amount of sugar. ›› Pour the drink with the highest
sugar into a glass, filling it up 1/3 of the way. Fill the glass up with a lot of ice (this helps to slow the juice while pouring the other layers) ›› Pour your middle layer slowly over
the ice, filling it up another third of the way. After that, top your drink off with your final layer. ›› Optional - snip the ends off
