Ingredients
Scale
Layered Drink Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pineapple coconut juice (no sweeteners or sugar, such as L & A brand)
- 1/3 cup orange mango juice (100% juice, such as Santa Cruz Organic)
- 1/3 cup Vitamin Water Energy – Tropical Citrus flavor
- Crushed ice (enough to fill the glass in three layers)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Take a clear glass suitable for showcasing layered drinks. Fill the glass with enough crushed ice to create the base layer.
- Create the first layer: Slowly pour the pineapple coconut juice over the crushed ice until the ice is fully submerged, forming the white bottom layer reminiscent of candy corn.
- Add second ice layer: Add more crushed ice on top of the first layer to build separation for the second juice.
- Form the second layer: Using a funnel spout positioned carefully at the center of the ice, slowly pour the orange mango juice atop the crushed ice. Pour gently to preserve the layer separation, achieving the dark orange middle layer.
- Add final ice layer: Fill the glass again with crushed ice to buffer the third juice layer.
- Pour the third layer: Place the funnel spout tip above the ice again and slowly pour the Vitamin Water Energy Tropical Citrus on top to create the yellow top layer.
- Serve immediately: Serve the layered drink immediately without stirring to keep the candy corn color separation intact. Advise guests not to jostle the glass to prevent mixing.
Notes
- Use juices with varying densities and sugar contents to create distinct layers.
- Pour each layer very slowly to avoid mixing the colors.
- Utilize a funnel to help control the pouring and maintain layer separation.
- Serve drinks immediately to best enjoy the layered visual effect before melting ice or mixing disturbs the layers.
