Ingredients
-
1 oz grenadine
-
1 oz blue curaçao
-
1 oz vodka
-
Sprite (to top)
-
Ice
Optional Garnishes:
-
Lemon wedge
-
Fresh mint sprig
-
Edible glitter or shimmer dust
Instructions
-
Fill a tall glass with ice (crushed ice works best for shimmer).
-
Slowly pour grenadine into the bottom of the glass—it will settle to form the deep red base.
-
In a separate container, mix vodka and blue curaçao. Gently pour this mixture over the back of a spoon to layer it above the grenadine.
-
Slowly top with Sprite, being careful not to disturb the layers too much.
-
Garnish with a lemon wedge and mint. For extra sparkle, add a pinch of edible shimmer dust and watch it swirl like a galaxy.
-
Serve with a straw and enjoy the color shift as you sip!
Notes
-
For a non-alcoholic version, swap the vodka and blue curaçao for orange juice and a splash of blue sports drink.
-
To get clean layers, pour liquids slowly and use the back of a spoon for best results.
-
Chill all ingredients beforehand to help maintain the layered effect.
-
This drink is best made fresh—don’t assemble it too far in advance or the layers will blend and the fizz will fade.
-
A clear glass is a must to showcase the stunning visual effect!
