A Bomb Pop cocktail, inspired by the red, white, and blue Bomb Pop popsicle, is a colorful and festive drink perfect for summer celebrations.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz. Grenadine
• 1 oz. Lemonade
• 2 oz. Blue Curacao
• 1 oz. Vodka (optional for a non-alcoholic version, just omit the vodka)
• Ice

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Glass:

• Fill a tall glass halfway with ice.

1. Layer the Red:

• Pour the grenadine over the ice slowly. It will settle at the bottom.

1. Add the White:

• In a shaker, mix the lemonade and vodka (if using) with ice. Shake well.
• Slowly pour this mixture over the back of a spoon or along the side of the glass to help layer it on top of the grenadine without mixing.

1. Finish with Blue:

• Very carefully top the drink with the Blue Curacao, again pouring over the back of a spoon or along the glass edge to keep the layers separate.

1. Garnish and Serve:

• Optionally, garnish with a cherry or a small American flag pick for a festive touch.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

The key to achieving the layered effect is to pour each layer slowly and use the back of a spoon to diffuse the liquid being added. The different sugar content in each layer helps them stay separate.
