23 Red, Blue and White Layer Drink
Let me let you in on a little secret for layered drinks. SUGAR! Yep, the trick is the sugar content. Sugar has a high density so ingredients with the highest sugar content will sink and you can create these wonderful layers.
24 Blue Margaritas
This cocktail is perfect for your 4th of July festivities – that blue will fit perfectly into your red, white and blue decor! I also love that margaritas are cocktails you make in a cocktail shaker – it adds some fun and flare to any gathering!

Blue Gatorade is a great swap for the kool-aide. Even use a zero sugar one if you want to reduce the sugar content in the layered 4th of July drink.
