Patriotic Punch Recipe for Memorial Day

Ingredients:

• Tate+Lyle® Organic Pure Cane Sugar
• Red or Blue Food Coloring
• Sandwich Bag
• Red Juice
• Blue Sports Drink
• White Sports Drink
• Ice

Instructions:

• Start by making your sugar-rimmed mason jar. Pour Tate+Lyle® Organic Pure Cane Sugar into a sandwich bag, add food coloring, and mix around until all of the sugar is covered in the bag.
• Get the rim of your mason jar wet by dipping it in the sports drink, then dipping it in the colored sugar.
• Fill the mason jar to the rim with ice.
• Pour red juice (or the drink with the highest sugar content) in a mason jar until it fills about 1/3 of the glass. Tip: I tilted the glass as I poured the juice to keep from getting the ice discolored.
• Add more ice as needed before each beverage is added to the glass.
• Next, slowly pour in drink with second highest sugar content. In this case, it was the blue sports drink. Again, fill it up 1/3 or more.
• Lastly, add some crushed ice to the glass. (This helps the white juice not to blend into the other juices.) Then, slowly pour the white drink to the rim of the glass.
• Add a fun straw. Do not mix. Cheers!
