2. Pour ⅔ of the crushed ice in the glass, then add the [easyazon_link identifier=”B00MU08G6I” locale=”US” tag=”twkmobile-20″]sour[/easyazon_link], or lemonade if you don’t have sour.

2. 1776 Cocktail

Ingredients:

• Red Layer: Frozen raspberries ½ cup, white wine 60ml/2 oz
• White Layer: Ice, gin 30ML/1.1oz
• Blue Layer: Ice, blue curacao 30ML/1.1oz

Instructions:

1. Put all the ingredients from the red layer in a blender and blend. Then put it in the freezer till the rest of the drink is ready. 
2. Then, crush the ice cubes in a blender till you have about 1.1 oz of crushed ice.
3. Fill your glass 1/3 of the way up with the crushed ice.
4. Add blue curacao
5. Add more crushed ice (an additional ⅓ of the glass) then add gin.
6. Add more crushed ice then top with the drunk raspberry granita you set in the freezer to keep frozen!

Tip: If you really want the white to show and not get blended in with the red and blue colors, add some [easyazon_link identifier=”B000VTH3BE” locale=”US” tag=”twkmobile-20″]white food coloring[/easyazon_link] or even a bit of [easyazon_link identifier=”B00D0TDV6S” locale=”US” tag=”twkmobile-20″]piña colada mix[/easyazon_link]! I would personally recommend the piña colada mix but white food coloring also works and doesn’t change the taste of the drink.

Lastly, if you’re not into either of those options, put the white ice on top, that way you will still have all three layers without having to change much other then the placement of each color.

3. White Wine Berry Sangria
