This Bomb Pop Martini has layers of red, white and blue that make a perfect martini for the 4th of  July or Memorial Day.  The fun, patriotic appearance is achieved with Bacardi Limon with pineapple juice, Blue Curacao and Grenadine.

Finish off this fun cocktail with a Bomb Pop on top for a fun party drink.  The layers become clearer as the martini sits for.  Place jars with ice around the martinis with Bomb Pops as an alcohol-free option to enjoy at the same time.

I tried several different variations and found that this combination worked the best for creating layers without being overly sweet.  A bit of pineapple juice balances out the acidic flavor of Bicardi Limon.  The  higher density of the Blue Curacao and Grenadine helps create the layered effect.

Needed Ingredients

• 3 Oz. Bacardi Limon – You can also substitute for Citrus flavored Vodka if you prefer.  
• 1.5 Oz. Pineapple Juice – This gets shaken together with Bacardi and Ice for the white layer.
• 1.5 Oz. Blue Curacao – This created the blue layer and should be chilled before using for best results.
• .75 Oz. Grenadine – It’s vibrant red color is perfect for layering and should be chilled before use.
• 1 Bomb Pop (optional) – for garnishment on top of the martini glass

Needed Equipment

• You will need a martini glass that is at least 8 Oz. for this recipe.  Here is one that you can order if needed.
• A cocktail Jigger such as this one is great to have on hand for measuring alcohol.
• A cocktail shaker is needed to chill the alcohol.  

Instructions

• Add the Bacardi Limon and pineapple juice to a cocktail shaker that is around 2/3 full of ice.  Shake until chilled.
• Strain the pineapple juice mixture into a martini glass.
• Tilt the martini glass forward and slowly pour the Blue Curacao so that it is sliding down the glass into the mixture.  Avoid pouring it directly into the liquid.
• Allow the mixture to settle.
• Tilt the martini glass forward and slowly pour around .75 Oz. of Grenadine down the glass.  Avoid pouring it directly into the liquid.
• Add a toothpick to the top of a bomb pop and place it on top of the glass (optional).
