Instructions
Make each layer separately and be sure to rinse the blender between each batch. After we make all 3 colors of slushy mixture, we'll layer them in the glasses. Depending on the size of your glass, you should get about 4 servings.
To Make The Red Layer:
Add the cherry Kool-Aid, sweet and sour, and ice to blender.
Blend until smooth and has the consistency of a slushy.
Pour the red slushy mixture into a pitcher or other container while you make the two other layers.
Rinse out the blender to get rid of any red liquid.
To Make White Layer:
Add the tequila, triple sec, piña colada syrup, sweet and sour, and ice to a blender.
Blend until slushy.
Pour the white margarita mixture into a pitcher or container to store while you make the blue layer.
Rinse out the blender to get rid of any white liquid.
To Make The Blue Layer:
Add the tequila, blue curaçao, sweet and sour, and ice to the clean blender.
Blend until you have a slushy consistency.
To Layer The Drink:
Scoop 1/4 of the blue mixture into the bottom of a large cocktail glass or highball glass.
Scoop 1/8th of the white mixture on top of the blue layer.
Scoop 1/4 of the red mixture on top of the white layer.
Scoop 1/8th of the white mixture on top of the red layer.
Repeat to make 3 more servings.
