This citrusy red, white and blue layered drink recipe is perfect for summer parties and backyard BBQs.
Layering ingredients in a specific order is necessary so they don't bleed together. The pouring technique is critical....nice and slow please.
The white layer is lemonade and vodka. I suggest a lightly sweetened lemonade because the red and blue layers are very sweet.
The blue layer is Blue Curacao liqueur. Blue curacao is a citrus-flavored liquor, like triple sec.
For the vodka, any brand of unflavored vodka will do so use your favorite!
You want to be sure to use a tall glass, pint glass or fluted water glass.
