Instructions
Fill a small clear glass with ice to the top.
Tip glass to side and slowly pour cranberry juice to the bottom 1/3 of the glass. Allow to settle.
Next, slowly pour the Sprite over an ice cube (close to the side of the glass) until it fills the middle 1/3 of the glass.
Lastly, slowly pour the blue drink over an ice cube (near the side of the glass) until it fills almost to the top.
Top with a few frozen blueberries (optional) and a straw. Serve immediately.
Notes
IMPORTANT: The drink layers work by sugar content. Before purchasing liquids for the drinks, check the sugar content. The heaviest sugar content will sink to the bottom and the lightest one will float on top. If you can, buy drink colors that are significantly different in sugar content. For example, a white layer with 21 grams of sugar and a blue layer with 20 grams of sugar will have a hard time staying separate.TIP: If you can't get your layers to stay separate (no matter how hard you try!), pour the first layer in a glass without ice. Freeze just until a small layer of ice has formed over the top. Remove from freezer and slowly pour next layer. Freeze again until a small layer of ice has formed. Pour the last layer on top and serve.
