Red, White & Blue Layered Punch

A festive layered punch for a clear drink container—ruby berry base, creamy white middle, and sparkling blue top.

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 all liquids thoroughly—colder liquids make cleaner layers.
2. Mix the red layer and pour into a clear dispenser over ice to fill about one-third.
3. Mix the white layer. Pour slowly over the back of a spoon onto the red layer to fill the next third.
4. Stir blue curaçao into the soda; pour the same way for the top layer.
5. Add fruit garnish. Serve soon; stir gently before each pour if the layers start to blend.
