1 cup ice
⚪ White Layer:
-
½ cup lemonade or coconut milk

1 tbsp simple syrup or sweetened condensed milk (for creaminess)

Blend each layer separately, starting with the red. Combine ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a clear glass and freeze for 10 minutes to firm it up.

Repeat with the blue layer, carefully spooning or pouring to top off the slush.
-
Garnish with a rocket pop, a swirl of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of red-white-and-blue sugar for that extra summer sparkle.
Pro Tips:

Freeze glasses ahead of time to slow melting.
