Summer is in full swing, and America’s birthday is just around the corner!

With only 5 ingredients and a little spoon magic, you will have a beautiful and yummy layered drink to impress your friends!

Ingredients:

• Ice
• Light Colored Fruit (yellow watermelon, pineapple, star fruit, etc.)
• 1 oz. Raspberry/Fruit-Flavored Rum or White Rum
• ½ oz. Grenadine Syrup
• 1  oz. Blue Curacao

Directions:

1 – Using a small star cookie cutter and cut some stars out of a light colored fruit.

2 – In a glass full of ice add:

• 1 oz. rum
• ½ oz. Grenadine Syrup
• Star-shaped Fruit

3 – Slowly pour in 1 ounce of blue curacao on the back of spoon into the glass. (This is lighter than the grenadine syrup, so it’ll float on top of the red layer. The spoon keeps it from splashing everywhere and mixing in with the red.)

Recipe Notes:

• The drink is very strong & super sweet, but you can cut it down by adding in a mixer like lemon-lime soda, club soda, or even a flavored sparkling water. (I used lime sparkling water for mine).

I absolutely LOVE the 4th of July! This is the holiday of all holidays for me! I spend a good month pulling together decorations, party ideas, and planning the perfect menu – of course adding in our friends to come and celebrate with us. I have streamers, the larger flag has been put up outside, yard decorations, front door decorations, and of course, confetti for the tables. The 4th of July tops Christmas for me. It has been that way since I was a child, but after serving in the military, it means even more to me. We are going to celebrate in epic style this year!

What you will need:

• Philadelphia Cheesecake Filling
• Keebler Mini Crusts
• Blueberries and Raspberries
• Whipped Topping

Directions:

1. Allow cheesecake to soften for about 20 minutes on the countertop
2. Use a large tablespoon to fill the mini crusts
3. Smooth the tops of the filling, and then add fruit. Cut your raspberries in half and lay them out as the red stripes on your flag. Use four blueberries to create the blue field. Add small puffs of whipped topping to portray the stars.

Now you can enjoy a delicious and patriotic dessert on this 4th of July! Get creative and share your patriotic desserts with us!
