Patriotic Drink

From FamilyFun Magazine

With a steady hand and some colorful rinks, you can create a tasty, multilayered concoction. The secret is in selecting liquids with varying amounts of sugar, since those that contain more (such as soda) are denser than those with less (such as diet drinks). And that makes it possible to actually stack one on top of another (for a while, anyway ~ then they'll start to blend). Here's how to serve up a thirst quencher with two, three, or even more layers.

Our recipe is for red, white and blue version for your Patriot Celebrations (Fourth of July). See how your favorite beverages literally stack up!

Ingredients

  Ice cubes
  Cranberry juice
  Wild Berry flavor Gatorade Fierce
  Diet 7-Up

Instructions

1. Fill a clear glass with ice cubes. Pour the drink with the most sugar (check the nutrition label) into the glass. For our red, white and blue recipe, start with cranberry juice.

2. Very slowly add a beverage that contains less sugar ~ in this case, Wild Berry flavor Gatorade Fierce. Be careful to pour it onto an ice cube ~ not directly into the other drink ~ to keep them from mixing.

3. Use the same technique to add a layer of Diet 7-UP
