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.
