Ingredients

Scale

You’ll need layers of colors and flavors. Here’s the breakdown:

???? Bottom Blue Layer:

1–2 tbsp blue raspberry syrup or blue curaçao syrup (non-alcoholic)
1/4 cup cold water or lemonade (to dilute and help it sink)

???? Middle Tropical Yellow Layer:

1/2 cup pineapple juice (chilled)
1/4 cup passion fruit juice (or mango if you can’t find passion fruit)
1 tbsp lemon or lime juice

???? Top Galaxy Red Layer:

1 tbsp grenadine or hibiscus syrup (for a galaxy “sunset” effect)
Optional: Splash of cranberry or pomegranate juice

???? Ice & Sparkle:

Crushed or pebble ice
Lemon-lime soda or sparkling water (for fizz)
Edible glitter or shimmer powder (optional)

???? Garnish:

Starfruit slice, lime wheel, or edible flowers
Color-changing straws or glow stick stirrers for that galactic vibe

Instructions

Creating the galaxy effect is all about liquid density—heavier liquids sink, lighter ones float. Always pour slowly over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass.

???? Step 1: Fill Your Glass with Ice

Use crushed or nugget ice to create the best layering surface. Fill the glass all the way to the top.

???? Step 2: Add the Blue Base

Carefully pour 1–2 tbsp of blue raspberry syrup diluted with water or lemonade into the bottom. It will settle nicely at the base.

???? Step 3: Mix the Yellow Tropical Layer

In a shaker or cup, combine:

½ cup pineapple juice
¼ cup passion fruit juice
1 tbsp lemon or lime juice

Slowly pour this over the ice using the back of a spoon. The yellow should sit atop the blue.

???? Step 4: Top with Red Sunset

Drizzle 1 tbsp grenadine or hibiscus syrup on top. It may sink slightly or swirl into the yellow for that nebula effect.

✨ Step 5: Add Fizz & Garnish

Top with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water. Garnish with a slice of starfruit, a mint sprig, and a dusting of edible glitter for a cosmic shimmer.

Notes

Chill everything in advance—cold drinks layer better.
Use crushed ice to slow down mixing and stabilize colors.
Pour very slowly using the back of a spoon.
