  1. Sue L--These were absolutely smashing. I served these for Zaar Cookathon/4th of July cook-out. Total hit. Not only did they taste delicious, they looked so festive and patriotic. I had 3 blenders set up at our bar. We had a lot of guests so this made things easier. Great idea :)
     
  2. I made these for my parents and their friends yesterday (the Fourth of July) and they said they were delicious! They were not exactly what I pictured; the colors were not as bright as I thought they would be, and they didn't form perfect layers when I poured them on top of one another. Instead, they made a sort of marbley effect. Still very cool, everyone loved them - thanks for such a neat idea!
     
  3. much easier to use premade mix. Had to add liquid for it wouldn't blend.
     
  4. I'm not a fan of margaritas, but guests at our cook-out are. I added a little extra blue curaco in the blue layer, because it was actually a turqouise color at first. I'm sure those guests will want these again, but next time, I will make up a couple of batches of each color and put them in the freezer and then layer them in the glasses all at once, so they don't melt and run together. Thanks for a really cool drink idea!
     
  5. Delicious & festive 3 blenders would definately make this easier. Very easy, but look like it took you all day.
