A red, white and blue layered slushy cocktail to celebrate the release of Captain America: Civil War.
And a perfect drink to serve at Fourth of July
Ingredients
Before starting you will need:
- 600ml sprite, 500ml of it frozen into ice cubes
To serve:
- 1 tbsp sugar crystals
- 3 drops blue food colouring
- 1/4 tsp simple syrup (or other sticky liquid, such as maple syrup or honey - this may add a flavour if mixed with drink)
White Layer:
- 25ml/1oz Jameson (Irish Whiskey)
- 1 cup frozen sprite cubes
Blue Layer:
- 50ml/2oz Blue curacao
- 1 cup frozen sprite cubes
Red Layer:
- 150g frozen strawberries (if freezing fresh strawberries, the weight is after hulling)
- 100ml sprite, not frozen
Instructions
To make the blue sugar crystals:
- Put the crystals and blue food dye in a zip lock bag, seal and shake for about 30 seconds. Pour onto a shallow bowl or plate.
- Rub some sugar syrup around the rim of the glass using kitchen towel, then dip in the sugar, rotating to get all sides covered.
To make each layer:
- Put the ingredients for the layer you are making into your blender, pulse until you have a slushy consistency.
- Pour or spoon into glass, one colour at a time to create your three layers. You can, of course, put the layers in any order your like.
- Rinse blender between each layer, so you don't end up mixing colours.
- Serve immediately with a festive straw.
Notes
Recipe can be doubled as needed
To make alcohol free - replace whiskey with 25ml unfrozen sprite. Replace blue curacao with blue food dye and 25ml unfrozen sprite.
