Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to build the Fruit Loop Fantasy, organized by layers:
Green Layer (Bottom)
-
2 oz Midori (melon liqueur)
-
1 oz lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
-
Splash of Limoncello (for extra citrus zing)
-
1/2 oz pineapple rum
-
1/2 oz triple sec
-
2 oz pineapple soda (or lemon-lime soda for a lighter taste)
Red Layer (Top)
-
1 oz strawberry vodka
-
1 oz raspberry vodka
-
2 oz strawberry juice (or strawberry-pineapple blend)
-
Splash of cherry juice (for color and tartness)
Garnish
-
Fruit Loops cereal
-
Maraschino cherry
-
Optional: Rim glass with crushed Fruit Loops for an added decorative touch
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Glass
Choose a tall, clear glass to showcase the layering. Chill it in the freezer for 10 minutes, or fill with ice water and dump before pouring the drink.
Optional: Rim the glass with simple syrup and crushed Fruit Loops for a fun, textured finish.
Step 2: Mix the Green Layer
In a shaker filled with ice, combine:
-
2 oz Midori
-
1 oz lemon juice
-
Splash of Limoncello
-
1/2 oz pineapple rum
-
1/2 oz triple sec
-
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds.
Pour the shaken green layer into the bottom of your glass. Slowly add 2 oz of pineapple soda, pouring gently to preserve the carbonation and color.
Step 3: Build the Red Layer
In a separate shaker (or small mixing glass), stir together:
-
1 oz strawberry vodka
-
1 oz raspberry vodka
-
2 oz strawberry juice
-
Splash of cherry juice
To float the red layer over the green, pour slowly over the back of a spoon held just above the green layer. This allows the red mixture to layer without disturbing the green.
Note: The key to proper layering is density. Juices and spirits with higher sugar content (like the red mix) tend to sit on top of lighter soda-based layers.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Thread a few Fruit Loops onto a cocktail skewer or let them float on top for a playful finish. Add a maraschino cherry on top or nestle it in the red layer.
Serve immediately with a wide straw or long cocktail spoon.
