  • Let that juice settle at the bottom of the cup.
  • Add another ice cube or two into the cup.
  • SLOWLY pour your next layer right over the new ice cube you placed in the cup. That ice cube will slow down the flow of the juice helping it settle on the layer below instead of mixing in.

  • Add another ice cube or two into the cup.
  • SLOWLY pour the blue layer on top of the new ice cube.

  • Enjoy the drink right away or place it in the freezer if you are making them in advance. The freezer will keep the ice from melting and mixing the layers, but be sure to pull the drinks out of the freezer before the juice freezes all the way:)
