Here’s what you need to make this fun layered drink for all ages. It’s great for Memorial Day, the Fourth or July and all summer long!

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Red Hawaiian Punch
• 1 Cup Lemonade
• 1 Cup Blue Hawaiian Punch
• 3 Cups Ice Cubes

To get started on this slushie recipe, you will want to add 1 cup of ice, and one cup of blue Hawaiian Punch into the blender.

Blend the mixture on frozen drink mode until well blended. Pour into a serving glass.

Rinse out your blender and repeat this process for the lemonade and the red Hawaiian Punch. Layer the drink carefully, adding the red on top of the blue, and then the white lemonade slush on top.

Serve with a fun straw and add fruit or other toppings if desired.

Here are some tips for making layered slush drinks:

• Use the right ingredients. The best ingredients for layered slush drinks are those that are high in sugar and low in fat. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture. Some good options include fruit juices, soda, and syrups.
• Chill your ingredients. Chilling your ingredients will help to prevent them from melting too quickly and ruining the layers. You can chill them in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Use a blender. A blender is the best tool for making layered slush drinks. It will help to break down the ice and create a smooth and consistent texture.
• Layer your drinks carefully. The key to making successful layered slush recipe is to layer them carefully. Pour each layer slowly and carefully, making sure not to disturb the layers below.
• Garnish your drinks. Once you have layered your drinks, you can garnish them with fruit, whipped cream, or other toppings. This will make your drinks even more appealing.

Here are some additional tips:

• Use different colors of ingredients to create a more visually appealing drink.
• Experiment with different flavors to find your favorites.
• You can also add alcohol to your slush drinks for a more adult beverage when you’re entertaining adults only.
• If you don’t have a blender, you can use a food processor or even a snow cone mache to create your slush drinks.
• Just be sure to use ice that is as cold as possible to prevent your drinks from melting too quickly.

With these tips, you’ll be able to make delicious and refreshing layered slush drinks that everyone will love.
