4th of July Bomb Pop Punch Cups

Ingredients

12 Bomb Pop ice pops

1 gallon (3.8 L) chilled Red Hawaiian Punch

1 bottle chilled blue sports drink (such as Gatorade)

Crushed or pebble ice

Whipped cream, optional

Maraschino cherries, optional

Instructions

1. Fill the cups

Add crushed or pebble ice to clear serving cups until they are about halfway full. This helps keep the drinks icy cold while showing off the colorful layers.

2. Pour in the red punch

Fill each cup with about ½ to ¾ cup of chilled Red Hawaiian Punch, adjusting the amount based on the size of your cups.

3. Create the blue layer

Carefully pour the chilled blue sports drink over the back of a spoon so it gently settles on top of the red punch, creating a festive layered look.

4. Add the Bomb Pop

Place one Bomb Pop into each cup with the stick pointing upward. As it slowly melts, it adds even more fruity flavor and patriotic color.

5. Finish with garnishes (optional)

If desired, top each drink with a swirl of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry for a fun holiday presentation.

6. Enjoy right away

Serve immediately while the Bomb Pops are still frozen and the colorful layers remain clearly visible.

Tips

Refrigerate all of the drinks before assembling for the best layering effect.

Pour the blue sports drink slowly to help keep the colors from blending together.

Use transparent cups to showcase the bright red and blue layers.
