Red, White, and Blue Spritzers!

By srumbel

With July 4th coming up, I thought I’d show you a cute little way to make a layered patriotic colored spritzer that will delight young and old alike – and not take any longer than it does to pour a regular drink!

Ingredients

• Diet 7-Up or Diet Sprite
• Blue Gatorade (Not G2, but regular Gatorade)
• Cranberry Juice Cocktail
• Note, please see post on why substitutions will not work in this recipe

Preparation

Step 1

1.Fill glasses with ice.
2.Pour a layer of Cranberry Juice Cocktail first, then follow by slowly pouring gatorade over the ice to help keep it from mixing. Top by slowly pouring diet 7-up or sprite on top.
3.Serve!


A word about substitutions: This is one of the few recipes I have that I ‘m gonna tell you it’s best not to make any substitutions. Why? Because I’ve tried them and they don’t work.

Blue Kool-Aid? Nope, tried it and it didn’t work.

Regular Sprite or 7-Up? Nope, tried it and it didn’t work.

Lower Calorie Cranberry Juice? Nope, tried it and it didn’t work.

And don’t even think about using the new G2 Gatorade. As much as I am a fan of it, it won’t work.

You really need these three things in particular to layer because each of these liquids have a density slightly lighter than the layer beneath it but heaver than the one on top of it.
