The All-American USA mocktail — red white and blue layered drink with cherry, coconut, and butterfly pea flower

Ingredients

2 oz cherry juice (tart cherry for deep red)
0.5 oz grenadine
2 oz coconut cream (full-fat, like Coco Lopez)
1 oz simple syrup
2 oz butterfly pea flower tea, cooled
Ice cubes
American flag toothpick and maraschino cherry, for garnish

Instructions

Brew butterfly pea flower tea: steep 1 tablespoon dried flowers in 2 oz hot water for 5 minutes. Strain and cool.
Fill a tall clear glass with ice cubes.
Pour the cherry juice mixed with grenadine into the glass first — this is the heaviest layer and sinks to the bottom.
Slowly pour the coconut cream mixed with simple syrup over the back of a bar spoon to create the white middle layer.
Finally, slowly pour the butterfly pea flower tea over the back of a spoon to create the blue top layer.
Garnish with an American flag toothpick and a maraschino cherry.
Serve immediately with a straw — tell guests to admire the layers before stirring!
