If you're a mama to be like me try this fun Mocktail for Fourth of July! ​
15 oz bottle of cran-apple juice
32 oz of blue Gatorade or Powerade
1 bottle of Sobe, Pina Colada flavored
​
#1. Fill your glasses with ice all the way to the top.
#2. Slowly pour the Cranberry Apple juice into the glass and directly over the ice filling it about 1/3 of the glass with juice.
#3. Next, pour the Sobe slowly, over the ice to fill the glass about 3/4 of the way.
#4. Finally, slowly pour the blue sports drink, over the ice and fill the glass the rest of the way.
The key with this recipe is to go slow, pouring directly over the ice. The longer the drinks sit, they will eventually all melt together just a FYI!
I found all of these recipes on Pinterest and will be making quite a few of them this weekend to hang by the pool! They are quick and easy and your guest will be so impressed!
​
Do you have any traditions you do on the Fourth? We usually have a bbq and have family over by the pool. End the night with fireworks and sparklers!
