🥄 Equipment

  • serving glasses
  • 1 oz jigger
  • red white and blue straws – optional

🥫 Storage

This drink is best served fresh. For make-ahead prep, measure the grenadine and vodka up to two hours ahead and refrigerate them separately from the lemonade and blue curaçao. Assemble the drink no more than 30 minutes before serving, pour each layer slowly to prevent mixing, and add the Bomb Pop just before serving.

💭 Tips

  • Be sure to pour this drink slowly, to prevent the layers from mixing. Once mixed the drink will become a purple color.
  • Smirnoff Red, White & Berry vodka gives this drink its intended berry flavor. If you can’t find it, use raspberry or blue raspberry vodka; a berry-flavored vodka from Pinnacle or Three Olives also works.
  • Make a kid-friendly drink recipe version by mixing together lemonade, Hawaiian Punch Berry Blue Typhoon, and cherry kool-aid.

Make It a Bomb Pop Punch

This recipe can easily be multiplied to make a pitcher or punch bowl full. Multiply each liquid ingredient by the number of servings and combine everything in a chilled pitcher or punch bowl. Add ice just before serving, then place a Bomb Pop in each glass so the popsicles do not melt into the batch.
