These stripey Iced Cocktails are fun to make, look great and are delicious to drink.
Why not make a striped cocktail in the same colours as your favourite footie team?
Start off with two ice cube trays, and two bottles of different coloured fizzy pop.
Fill one ice cube tray with one coloured drink and the other tray with the second colour.
Put the trays into the freezer.
When the ice cubes are frozen, put one set of coloured ice cubes into a freezer bag.

Crush the ice cubes by bashing them with a rolling pin.
Do the same with the other colour ice cubes.

Then find yourself a long glass to put the ice in.
Layer the ice in the glass, like this.

Remember to work fairly quickly - otherwise the ice will melt! Keep going until you've filled the glass.
If you're a bit of a smoothie (!), why not make a delicious striped cocktail from frozen yoghurt.?
Make the crushed ice in exactly the same way but this time use two colours of yoghurt instead of fizzy drinks.
A cocktail is not a cocktail without some decorated swizzle sticks and some funky stirrers!
To make a decorative, fanned swizzle stick all you need are two strips from an A4 sheet of paper and a wooden skewer.
You might need to trim the skewer down to size to fit your glass.
Then fold both of the strips of paper into concertinas.

To do so: make one fold, turn the paper over and make another fold, turn it over again and make another fold etc etc.
Use double-sided tape to stick one strip of paper at the top of the skewer.
Bend it round and attach the other end of paper in the same way.
Do the same with the other strip of paper and pop it into your drink.
Decorate other skewers by tying on some tinsel!

Or thread some beads onto a piece of string and tie it on another skewer.
You could also jazz up your cocktail with this fantastic edible glitter.

It's sold in most cake decorating shops.
The glitter looks great in ice cubes as well.

Do take out all the decoration before you have a drink... you don't want to do yourself any damage!
