Iced Cocktails
You Will Need:
• ice cube trays
• cocktail glass
• Straw
• 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.
• 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. The glitter looks great in ice cubes as well.
