What are some brightly colored and delicious Fourth of July cocktails?

Answer 1

I like the idea of serving several different cocktails of each color (one red, one white, one blue). This not only makes things easier, it opens the door to variety.

1.) For RED, try a Red Carpet:

• 1 1/2 oz Oval Vodka
• 1 oz Campari
• 1 oz Hiram Walker Pomegranate Schnapps
• 1 oz pomegranate juice
• 1/2 oz simple syrup
• lemon slice for garnish

Combine ingredients into an ice filled cocktail shaker.

Shake vigorously.

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Garnish with a lemon slice.

2.) For WHITE, try a Sage Lady

• 3 slices of cucumber
• 1 part simple syrup
• 1/2 part Cointreau
• dash of peach bitters

Muddle cucumber, simple syrup and sage.

Shake with ice.

Fine strain into a cocktail glass.

Garnish with a spanked sage leaf.

3.) For BLUE, try a Very Berry Cosmo

• 2 oz Van Gogh Acai-Blueberry Vodka
• 1/2 oz Chambord
• 1/2 oz triple sec
• 1/2 oz cranberry juice
• fresh blueberries for garnish

Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice.

Shake well.

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Garnish with a few fresh blueberries.

* NOTE: There are many many other drinks you could try in each color. Find the ones that appeal to you.
