Ingredient Notes
You can really use any drink products, you just have to take note of the sugar content on the nutrition label. I recommend choosing a sugar free liquid for the top.
Red Beverage – Reds are pretty easy to find. There’s cranberry juice, cranberry/strawberry/cherry flavored sodas, Hawaiian punch, etc. It’s easiest to use red as your bottom layer because the juices will likely have the highest sugar content of everything you are using. Blue Beverage – For blue I did Gatorade; it’s important you look at the labels, it just has to have a little sugar in it. G2 Gatorade had just a few grams which made it perfect for layering between a juice with a higher sugar content and a diet soda with none. You may be able to find blue Hawaiian punch which could work as well, just make sure you have one each of a high, medium, and low sugar content beverage. White/Clear Beverage – I used a diet lemon-lime soda. Any sugar-free clear-ish soda would work! Ice – You’ll want to fill your cups with ice before adding your drinks. I used cute star shaped ice cube trays. Plan ahead if you want all star shaped ice. You’ll have to freeze several trays to have enough!
