Drink three in at least four [maybe more] Fourth of July themed drinks.
This one is named after a classic in the Fourth of July arsenal of fireworks.
The Roman Candle
Ingredients:
3 oz. Three-O Berry Vodka
½ Oz. Cranberry Juice
Dash of Grenadine
½ oz. Blue Curaçao
Directions:
Shake vodka, cranberry juice and grenadine in a shaker with ice. Strain into martini glass.
Pour Blue Curaçao gently down the side of the glass so it comes to settle on the bottom.
Garnish with a lemon twist.

Oh, the Shirley Temple. It’s a classic drink for the under 12 set…but what do you do when you’re old enough to have a cosmopolitan instead but still have a hankering for a maraschino cherry?
You improvise.
Well, maybe not quite “improvise”, since there are already some established recipes out there for you to try. And as if that wasn’t enough fun, there’s usually a quirky play on the original name to go along with the delightful modified version.
