Fourth of July Fireworks Cocktails

Written by Diana - July 3, 2010 0 Comments

My husband’s family was always big on doing the fireworks display though the clean up is always a problem since you can’t find the dead fireworks until the next morning since it’s pretty dark when they’re done. Growing up my family attended fireworks at Battery Park in NY, and later local parks. I think I like this way of celebrating the fourth with alcoholic fireworks instead. I’m content to sit on the side and sip a firework while I relax. I won’t be driving, so it’s okay.

Roman Candle

3 oz. Three-O Berry Vodka
½ Oz. Cranberry Juice
Dash of Grenadine
½ oz. Blue Curacao

Shake vodka, cranberry juice and grenadine in a shaker with ice. Strain into martini glass.

Pour Blue Curaçao gently down the side of the glass so it comes to settle on the bottom

Sparkler

1 oz. 1800 Tequila
2 oz. Sparkling Wine
.5 oz.Raspberry Liquor
.5 oz. Soho Lychee Liquor

Combine tequila, raspberry liquor and soho lychee liqor in the bottom of a champagne flute
