Red White And Blue Ice Cubes for Memorial Day Easy Desserts & 4th July Food Ideas
Ingredients
- 1 (20 oz) bottle red fruit punch sports drink
- 1 (20 oz) bottle white glacier cherry frost sports drink
- 1 (20 oz) bottle blue cool sports drink
Instructions
- Start by preparing clean ice cube trays. Large cube trays (like whiskey-style molds) work best to show off the layers clearly.
- Carefully pour the red sports drink into each compartment, filling only the bottom third of each slot. Take your time to keep the layers neat and even.
- Place the tray flat in the freezer and allow this first layer to freeze completely. This usually takes around 1 hour, but make sure it is fully solid before moving on.
- Once the red layer is firm, remove the tray and gently pour the white frost drink over the frozen red layer. Fill the middle third of each cube space.
- Return the tray to the freezer again and freeze until the second layer is completely hardened. This step is important to keep the colors from blending together.
- After the white layer is frozen solid, add the final blue drink layer by filling the remaining top portion of each cube.
- Place the tray back into the freezer and allow everything to freeze thoroughly for at least another hour.
- Once all layers are fully frozen, your cubes are ready to use. Keep them stored in the freezer until serving time.
- Serve by adding the cubes to clear beverages like soda, sparkling water, or lemonade to show off the vibrant red, white, and blue layers.
