The liquid with the most sugar should be added first… If you choose a different item it may layer differently. This is a fun patriotic drink. Everyone loved it, even the non-soda drinkers thought it was super fun! Add vodka to make it a cocktail! 

To layer them and keep them from mixing, pour them over the back of a spoon slowly.

Alternative red drinks: cranberry, grenadine, pomegranate, cherry juice.

White drinks: Mix lemonade and vodka for a fun “white” layer, coconut water, white peach, champagne, seltzer, sprite.

Blue Drinks: blue curacao, blueberry juice.
