Red White and Blue Drinks

In spirit of the upcoming
4th of July holiday

Red White and Blue drinks


1. 57 Chevy Ride (red)

You might not be driving along route 66, but you'll feel like you are after a couple of these zingers!

1 shot of Southern Comfort
1 shot of Gin
1/3 cup of Orange Juice
1/3 cup of Pineapple Juice
Dash of Grenadine

Add liquor, juice, and ice to a cocktail shaker. Cover, shake well, then strain into a tall cocktail glass filled with ice.


2. Snow White Cooler (white)

There's really nothing innocent about this concoction, but the result is a frothy off-white cocktail sure to please.

2 shots of Bailey's Irish Cream
1 Shot of Blended Whisky

Add liquor and ice to a cocktail shaker. Cover, shake well, then strain into a cocktail glass. May serve over ice, if desired, especially in particularly warm weather.

3. Alaska Ice Tea (blue)

What better to serve on a hot summer day than a cold treat inspired by the frozen north.

½ Shot of Gin
½ Shot of Vodka
½ Shot of White Rum
½ Shot of Cointreau
½ Shot of Blue CuraÁao
7UP or Sprite

In a tall cocktail glass half filled with ice, layer each shot in order listed. Top off with soda and enjoy!


4. Stars and Stripes (red, white, and blue!)

It doesn't get any more patriotic than this- you'll wow your guests with the colorful layers!

1 shot of Grenadine
1 shot of Blue CuraÁao
1 shot of Light Cream

Build the layers in a short cocktail glass. (Hint: pour the liquid over the back of a spoon as you add them to the glass to help layer.) Serve and enjoy.
