White Layer
- ½ cup lemonade (divided)
- 6 ounces vodka (divided)
- Small ice
Blue Layer

- 1 drop blue food-safe coloring

Instructions
- Red Layer: Pour 1 ounce of grenadine into each serving glass as the base layer.
- Prepare Ice: Carefully fill each glass with small ice cubes, leaving approximately 1 inch of space at the top for the remaining layers.
- White Layer: Mix ½ cup lemonade with 3 ounces vodka. Slowly pour half of this mixture into each glass over the back of a spoon to create a distinct layer above the grenadine.
- Blue Layer: Combine 2 ounces vodka with 1 drop of blue food-safe coloring. Slowly pour this mixture over the back of a spoon into each glass to form the top blue layer.

Notes
- Pouring liquids slowly over the back of a spoon helps to maintain the distinct layers in the cocktail.
- Use small, fresh ice cubes to avoid rapid melting that could dilute the layers.
- Blue food-safe coloring is essential for the vibrant top layer but should be used sparingly.
- The Bomb Pop Popsicle makes a fun, thematic garnish and adds a subtle sweetness.
