Kid Friendly Red, White and Blue Punch

 Kid Friendly Red White and Blue Punch (from momendeavors.com)

To get the layered effect, you’ll need to do a few things:

Start by filling the glass about 1/4-1/3 of the way up with the drink with the highest sugar content per serving (red in this case).

Then, fill the cup FULL with ice.

Pour the drink with the next highest sugar content (white in this case) very slowly over the ice. You’ll use the ice as a sort of buffer – pouring directly on to the ice with a very slow pour (small amount). If you just pour a whole bunch in quickly, the colors will combine.

Repeat with the last layer (blue in this case)

Snip the ends off of a Twizzlers candy and place in the drink for a straw. For some added fun, you could take some of the red, white, and blue Twizzlers PULL ‘N’ PEEL candy to add a little edible bow or tie to your straw.

(In this case, a cran-cherry juice (red) was used, a kid-friendly piña colada drink (white), and a blue raspberry drink (blue). You can see that the red & white mixed just a bit (their sugar contents only differed by 3g). But, it actually did look more white in real life than the picture shows!
