Red White and Blue Layered Lemonade
I wanted something for our backyard get together that looked festive without being complicated, and this layered lemonade ended up being the easiest thing on the whole table. The blue layer settles at the bottom, the creamy lemonade sits in the middle, and a few mashed berries float on top, so it looks like it took way more effort than it actually did. Kids and adults both kept coming back for more all afternoon.
Ingredients:
β’ 1 cup blue raspberry or blueberry juice
β’ 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
β’ 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
β’ 3 cups cold water
β’ 1 cup strawberries, mashed
β’ Ice
Methods:
1. Whisk lemon juice, sweetened condensed milk, and cold water together for the creamy lemonade layer.
2. Fill glasses about a third full with the blue raspberry or blueberry juice.
3. Add a layer of ice on top of the blue juice to help keep the layers separate.
4. Slowly pour the creamy lemonade over the ice so it sits on top of the blue layer.
5. Spoon mashed strawberries gently over the top.
6. Stir gently right before drinking to mix the layers, or sip through a straw to taste each layer separately.
