Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 2 oz. raspberry vodka
- 3 oz. ICE lemonade or lemon-lime soda
- 2 oz. Torani vanilla syrup
- 1 oz. Glacier blue Gatorade
Coloring and Garnish
- 2 drops blue food coloring
- 2 drops red food coloring

Instructions
- Prepare Blue Layer: In a small pitcher or shaker, combine the Glacier blue Gatorade, Torani vanilla syrup, and blue food coloring. Stir well to blend the colors and flavors evenly.
- Pour Blue Layer: Add 3 ice cubes to your serving glass. Slowly pour the blue mixture into the glass as the first vibrant layer.
- Add Lemon-Lime Layer: Place a drinks mixing tool or a specialized layering tool on top of the glass. Slowly lower the bobber and pour the ICE lemonade or lemon-lime soda into the cup of the mixing tool, allowing it to gradually seep onto and form a separate layer above the blue base.
- Mix and Pour Vodka Layer: In a separate container, combine the raspberry vodka and red food coloring. Mix lightly, then slowly pour this red mixture into the drinking tool cup to form the top layer above the lemon-lime soda.
- Finishing Touches: Add a straw to the drink and garnish with a rocket pop popsicle for a playful and colorful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy the layered flavors.
