1 Concord Academy Summer Camp 2016 Camp Cookbook America s Birthday Patriotic Punch Cranberry Juice Cocktail Powerade White Cherry Gatorade G2 Blueberry Pomegranate Ice We used small clear plastic cups, so only a few ounces of each juice, but if you are using a larger glass, just use equal parts of each juice. Also, certain sport drink flavors may not always be available, so to find a suitable replacement, look at the sugar content. You want the red juice to be the highest sugar content, then the white drink should be significantly less sugar, and finally, a diet or low calorie blue drink. The sugar density is what keeps the layers separate. Start with cranberry juice on the bottom, then fill the cup to almost the top with ice. This is an important step, especially to get the layered color effect you are looking for. Carefully pour in the white drink, then the blue drink. Garnish with a patriotic umbrella or other decoration and serve!
