Make your red layer by slowly pour grenadine into your glass to prevent much splashing. Use enough to fill, leaving at least 1 centimeter from the top.
Carefully add ice on top of the grenadine, filling the glass, but leaving at least 1 inch of space from the top.
Mix lemonade and 1 ½-ounce vodka into a spouted measuring cup and pour slowly on the back of a spoon into the glass to make the white layer.
In the same spouted measuring cup add remaining 1 ½-ounce vodka and 1-2 drops of blue coloring. Repeat to make your blue layer by pouring the mixture on the back of the spoon on top of the white layer.
Garnish with a bomb pop popsicle if desired.

Depending on the circumference of your glass you may need to use a little more. You want to fully cover the bottom and have about a cm of red in the bottom.
Ensure you leave about 1 inch of space at the top when filling your glass with ice. It will rise as you pour in the clear/”white” layer, and you still need room for the blue.
The slower you pour the better the layers will sit on top of one another and not mix.
Use the back of a spoon to help layer the liquids without mixing colors, by hovering just over the last layer poured. Slowly raise the spoon as the liquid rises with your pour.

Small ice that takes up more space helps suspend the layers better than larger cubes.
Cold liquids pour more slowly and help preserve layers.
Leave room at the top of the glass for the popsicle garnish.
This drink is best enjoyed fresh before the colors start to blend.
