With
Twizzlers in place of straws, this juice and candy mix has holiday fun
written all over it.
We're
so excited to share this super fun patriotic punch with you today– perfect
for your backyard holiday barbecues or pool parties this summer!!
kid-friendly patriotic punch
As
part of a campaign with Hershey, I was sent some Twizzlers candy to get
creative with! As a kid, I remember how fun we thought it was to use
Twizzlers Twists as edible straws! So, I decided they’d look great as a fun
“twist” in some red, white, and blue drinks! This patriotic punch would be
be perfect for your Memorial Day or 4th of July events!
To
make some fun patriotic punch, you’ll need 3 different kid-friendly
juices/drinks in red, white, and blue. Really, you can use ANY red, white,
and blue drinks that you think will taste okay together. The catch is that
all three need different sugar contents per ounce. And, the larger the
sugar content difference, the better your drink will layer. That’s because
this involves a little kitchen science–density to be exact. So, you’ll need
to read your labels and do a little math for this recipe! 🙂
In
this case, I used a cran-cherry juice (red), a kid-friendly piña colada
drink (white), and a blue raspberry drink (blue). You can see that our red
& white mixed just a bit (their sugar contents only differed by 3g).
But, it actually did look more white in real life than the picture shows!
To get the layered effect, you’ll need to do a few things:
- Start by
filling the glass about 1/4-1/3 of the way up with the drink with the
highest sugar content per serving (red in this case).
- Then, fill
the cup FULL with ice.
- Pour the
drink with the next highest sugar content (white in this case) very
slowly over the ice. You’ll use the ice as a sort of buffer – pouring
directly on to the ice with a very slow pour (small amount). If you
just pour a whole bunch in quickly, the colors will combine.
- Repeat with
the last layer (blue in this case)
- Snip the
ends off of a Twizzlers candy and place in the drink for a straw. For
some added fun, you could take some of the red, white, and blue
Twizzlers PULL ‘N’ PEEL candy to add a little edible bow or tie to
your straw.
