Notes
Clear ice is key for the most dramatic layered look. If you’ve got a clear ice mold, now’s the time to show off.
Want to go next-level? Freeze tonic water into ice cubes and serve under a blacklight for a glowing galaxy vibe.
Chill your Red Bull and vodkas ahead of time—cold ingredients help the layers stay crisp and distinct.
Planning a party? Pre-mix the vodka base in a bottle and slice your lemon wedges early. Then just layer and garnish when it’s time to serve.
This drink is best enjoyed right away. The colors will eventually blend, but the flavor stays just as bright and zingy!
