We’ve got two “cool” drink ideas for those hot summer days!  It is super easy to make the Patriotic Layered Drink and Cranberry Fizz. Your guests will be impressed (even though there’s nothing to it)!

These recipes were originally created by Yesterday on Tuesday!

Patriotic Layered Drink

We used our  Handled Mason Jar Mugs and Star Themed Paper Straws to take these patriotic drinks to the next level! To make the drinks, you’ll need diet lemon lime soda, blue Gatorade (believe it or not, there is more than one shade of blue Gatorade that would work for this) and Cranberry Juice. You’ll also want to have some ice cubes on hand.

1. Add some ice to the mugs and then pour some cranberry juice over them.
2. Next S-L-O-W-L-Y add the Gatorade. I mean slooowly. If you do it too fast, the colors will muddle together.
3. Finish with a splash of that diet soda.
4. Place a couple star straws in there and you have a darling little Patriotic Drink.
5. Sip and enjoy!

Cranberry Fizz Recipe

If you are hosting a group, this drink is best made in a big batch. All you need is equal parts of diet lemon lime soda and cranberry juice.  Don’t forget the ice! We used our Yorkshire Beverage Dispenser but our Lancaster Beverage Dispenser would work great too!
