My husband went the extra mile to master the perfect red, white, and blue layers for this cocktail! He was so determined that he even asked the bartender at our Country Club for tips to share with you all. The trick? Pour the top layers slowly over the back of a spoon—a true test of patience! But trust me, the effort is worth it, especially since we get to enjoy this festive drink at patriotic celebrations all year long.
