July 4th Drink


This year I really wanted to try and make one of these fun drinks for my kids.  They really like fun food and this is probably the funnest drink I have ever made them.  My oldest thought it was just the coolest thing and my little one could not stop drinking it!  However this drink is VERY high in sugar so be warned if you are watching the sugar you give to the kids. 

I think the hardest part of making it was finding the right drinks to get the layers.  The key is that each layer has to have a lower sugar amount than the last one.  Just like our water density experiment with the sugar and water, making this drink is pretty much the same thing (so I guess it is a science drink!).  If you want you can make this into a science lesson while making the fun treat!


Supplies
Fruit Punch (any high sugar fruit punch)
SoBe Pina Colada
Powerade Zero

Directions
 Pour your fruit punch in glass then add the SoBe Pina Colada, then finally add the Powerade  Zero.
 The key is that each layer must have a lower sugar amount than the one below it.
Now just drink and enjoy your Yummy Patriotic Drink!

    I love the idea of children learning about water density and then enjoying a fun drink too. I imagine many children would never forget such a fun lesson! Thanks for sharing on Artsy Play Wednesday.
