I want a welcome drink at a high school party. I want it layered, 2 or 3 layers. Make it reachable. I mean, do not use spirits that are really special; make it simple.
Cocktail Colin says:
For a high school party, an eye-catching yet simple layered drink would be ideal. One of the best options in this scenario is the *Pousse Café*. Carefully layered and vibrant, it’s visually appealing and will surely be a conversation starter. Let's break it down:
- Pousse Café - This cocktail's layers include Triple Sec, Bourbon, Grenadine, Creme De Menthe, Overproof rum, and Coffee liqueur. Collectively, the layers create a stunning visual appealing to those who appreciate colorful and neatly striated beverages. However, you can modify it for a high school party by substituting spirits with similar-looking non-alcoholic syrups like raspberry syrup, mint syrup, and coffee syrup.
- Slush Puppie - This refreshing drink combines lemon, soda water, grenadine, and raspberry syrup, served in a highball glass. The Slush Puppie is stirred but can still be crafted to have a layered presentation. By carefully pouring grenadine and raspberry syrup at different rates with soda water and lemon juice added last, you can create a beautiful layered effect.
