Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 oz vodka
- 1 oz blue curaçao
- 1 oz grenadine
- 2 oz lemonade
- 1/2 oz cranberry juice
- Ice cubes
- Edible glitter (optional, for added sparkle)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass
Add ice cubes to a tall glass. If using edible glitter, add a pinch to the bottom of the glass for a shimmering effect. - Layer the Cocktail
Pour the blue curaçao over the ice. Slowly add the lemonade, letting it gently layer over the blue curaçao. - Add Grenadine and Cranberry Juice
Carefully pour the grenadine down the side of the glass; it will sink to the bottom, creating a red-to-blue gradient. Then add the cranberry juice for a hint of pink and purple hues. - Add Vodka
Pour the vodka on top to blend gently with the other colors. - Stir and Serve
Give the cocktail a gentle stir if desired, allowing the colors to swirl slightly without fully mixing. Enjoy your Galaxy Cocktail!
Notes
- For Extra Sparkle: Add edible glitter to give your drink a sparkling, starry effect.
- Mocktail Option: Replace the vodka and blue curaçao with blue raspberry-flavored sparkling water for a non-alcoholic version.
- Serving Suggestion: Use a clear, tall glass to showcase the layered effect.
