Red, White & Blue Layered Punch

A party-ready layered punch for a clear dispenser—deep red berry bottom, creamy white center, and bubbly blue crown.

Red Layer

• 3 cups cranberry-raspberry juice, well chilled
• 1 cup strawberry puree (blended fresh strawberries)

White Layer

• 2 cups coconut water or lemonade, chilled
• 1 cup cream of coconut, well shaken
• 1/2 cup white rum or vodka (optional)

Blue Layer

• 3 cups lemon-lime soda or club soda, chilled
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup blue curaçao (or blue sports drink for non-alcoholic)
• Ice cubes
• Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, for garnish

Steps

1. Chill every liquid well—colder drinks hold sharper layers.
2. Stir the red layer and pour into a clear dispenser over ice until it fills about one-third.
3. Stir the white layer. Trickle it slowly over the back of a spoon onto the red layer to fill the middle third.
4. Blend blue curaçao into the soda; pour the same way for the top third.
5. Top with fruit garnish. Serve promptly; give a gentle stir before each pour if the layers begin to mix.
