Ingredients

Scale

Blue Layer

1 cup Berry Blue Typhoon Hawaiian Punch
1½ oz vodka (such as Grey Goose or your favorite brand)
1½ cups ice

Green Layer

1 cup Green Berry Rush Hawaiian Punch
1½ oz vodka
1½ cups ice

Yellow Layer

1 cup pineapple juice
1½ oz coconut rum (like Malibu)
1½ cups ice

Red Lava Layer

1 cup Fruit Juicy Red Hawaiian Punch
Optional: ½ oz grenadine (for lava effect)
1½ cups ice

Optional Garnish

Maraschino cherry
Cocktail umbrella

Instructions

Blend Each Layer
In a high-powered blender, blend the ingredients for each color layer separately until slushy. Start with the blue, then green, yellow, and red.
Freeze Each Layer Briefly
Pour each blended layer into its own bowl and freeze for 5–10 minutes. This helps firm up the texture so the layers don’t mix when assembling.
Assemble the Cocktail
Spoon the blue layer into the bottom of each glass. Tap gently to level it.
Slowly add the green layer over the back of a spoon to keep layers distinct.
Repeat with the yellow layer.
Top with the red lava layer. Add a drizzle of grenadine for an extra lava drip effect.

Garnish and Serve
Add a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, and a fun cocktail umbrella for a full tropical vibe. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, skip the spirits and use lemon-lime soda or flavored sparkling water to keep the fizz and fun.
Make-ahead tip: Blend and freeze layers up to 2 days in advance. Re-blend briefly before assembling.
Use the back of a spoon to pour each layer slowly and gently—it helps keep the colors from mixing.
This recipe serves 4–6 people, but you can double or triple it for parties.
