    What are layered drinks?

    They are what they sound like: cocktails with multiple layers of different colored liquids stacked on top of one another. The result? A stunning presentation.

    The layers in this cocktail are achieved by carefully layering a slushy of different flavored lemonade infused with vodka. The combination of sweet flavors and tartness from the lemonade creates a perfect balance of flavors.

    Want to put your own twist on this delicious concoction? Experiment with different flavor combinations by substituting various flavored liqueurs or adding fresh fruit juices.

    Third Layer: Rinse your blender, then and add 1 ½ cups ice, 1 ½ cups lemonade, and 2 oz. vodka. Blend until smooth. Add to the glasses for the final layer, and garnish with fresh lemons and strawberries.

    Recipe Tips

    • Pour each layer slowly on top of one another to help create distinct layers without blending them together.
    • You want each layer to be more of an icy consistency than slushy. Add extra ice, if needed, and re-blend at each step to get a more solid mixture that will hold the layers well.
    • Chill ingredients and freeze (for 30 minutes) your glass ahead of time to keep your drink chilled longer.
    • Serve immediately to avoid melting and layers blending together.

    Absolutely! Feel free to use different flavors of lemonade such as pink lemonade, strawberry lemonade, etc. for a different taste.

    Yes, of course. While we used Tito’s vodka, you can swap out with your favorite rum or tequila instead.
