American Flag Pousse Cafe Instructions

The American Flag Pousse Cafe is a patriotic cocktail that is sure to impress your guests at any Fourth of July celebration. This layered drink showcases the colors of the American flag - red, white, and blue - and is as delicious as it is beautiful.

To make an American Flag Pousse Cafe, you'll need three different liqueurs: grenadine for the red layer, blue curacao for the blue layer, and cream or milk for the white layer. The key to creating the layered effect is pouring each liqueur slowly over the back of a spoon.

Start by filling a tall, narrow glass with ice cubes. Begin with the grenadine and pour it slowly into the glass over the back of a spoon. The grenadine will sink to the bottom and create the red layer.

Next, carefully pour the cream or milk over the back of a spoon to create the white layer. The cream will float on top of the grenadine layer and create a nice separation between the red and blue layers.

Finally, pour the blue curacao over the back of a spoon to create the blue layer on top. The blue curacao will float on top of the cream and create the final layer of the American Flag Pousse Cafe.

For an extra patriotic touch, you can garnish the cocktail with a small American flag or some fresh berries. Serve the American Flag Pousse Cafe immediately to preserve the layered effect.

This stunning cocktail is not only delicious, but it also pays tribute to the colors of the American flag. It's the perfect drink for any Fourth of July celebration or patriotic gathering. Cheers!
