Let Me Tell You Why This Bomb Pop Cocktail Drink Is a Must-Make. You know those Bomb Pop popsicles from childhood?
The ones you’d race to finish before they melted down your hand on a hot summer day?
I wanted that nostalgic flavor—cherry, lemon, and blue raspberry—but with a fun adult twist.
So, I created this Bomb Pop Cocktail Drink that’s just as colorful, icy, and layered as those frozen treats we all loved… only now, with vodka.
This drink is perfect for summer BBQs, 4th of July parties, or any warm evening when you’re feeling a little festive.
It’s got layers (literally) of flavor, looks amazing in a glass, and doesn’t need any special equipment. Just a spoon and a steady hand!

What Is a Bomb Drink?
A “bomb drink” usually refers to a shot dropped into another drink—like a Jägerbomb. But in this case, our Bomb Pop Cocktail is more like a layered cocktail bomb of flavor, inspired by the Bomb Pop popsicle!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe?
- It looks impressive but is super easy.
- You don’t need fancy gear. Just two glasses, a spoon, and a measuring cup.
- It’s sweet, tangy, and strong—everything a summer cocktail should be.
- Tastes just like a spiked Bomb Pop popsicle!
- Perfect for 4th of July or any red-white-and-blue themed party.
How Do You Drink a Bomb Pop Drink?
You can sip it slowly with a straw or stir it all together to blend the flavors.
If you love the layers like I do, drink straight from the rim and enjoy the shift in flavors from sweet cherry to citrusy lemonade to bold blue raspberry.
How To Make Bomb Pop Cocktail Drink?
Recipe Overview
This Bomb Pop Cocktail Drink is a layered red, white, and blue beverage made with grenadine, lemonade, vodka, and blue raspberry vodka. It’s refreshing, boozy, and perfect for summer parties.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 0 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Cuisine: American
- Course: Cocktail
- Difficulty: Easy
- Yield: 2 drinks
- Calories: Approx. 250 per serving
- Serving Size: 1 glass (16 oz)
Equipment
- Two 16-ounce glasses
- Measuring cup
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 ounces grenadine (divided)
- 3 ounces vodka (divided)
- 3 ounces lemonade
- 3 ounces blue raspberry vodka
- Small ice cubes (enough to fill two glasses)
- 1 drop blue food-safe coloring (to deepen the blue layer) Optional
Ingredient Notes
- Grenadine: Adds the red color and a sweet cherry-like flavor.
- Lemonade: This forms the “white” layer in the middle. Use store-bought or homemade!
- Vodka: Mixes with lemonade for that clean, neutral base.
- Blue Raspberry Vodka: Brings the bold flavor and vibrant blue color. You can add a drop of blue coloring if needed.
- Small Ice Cubes: The smaller the ice, the better it helps separate the layers.
Instructions
1. Fill each glass with ice — almost to the top. Small cubes work best to slow the mixing of layers.
2. Start with the red layer: Pour 1 ounce of grenadine into the bottom of each glass. It’s heavy, so it naturally settles.
3. Make the white layer: In a measuring cup, stir together lemonade and vodka (1.5 ounces of each). Carefully pour it over the back of a spoon into the glass, layering it gently on top of the grenadine. Move slowly here!
4. Now for the blue layer: In another cup, combine blue raspberry vodka (1.5 ounces per drink). If you want it extra vibrant, add a drop of blue food coloring. Gently layer this over the lemonade mixture using the spoon trick again.
5. Serve immediately with a straw or mini American flag stirrer.

Tips and Variations
❖ Don’t rush the pour. Use the back of a spoon and go slowly for clean, separate layers.
❖ No blue raspberry vodka? Use plain vodka and a splash of blue raspberry drink mix or syrup.
❖ Want it sweeter? Use a sweeter lemonade or add simple syrup to the white layer.
❖ To make ahead: Mix the liquids for each layer in separate jars and store in the fridge. Pour when ready to serve.
Storing Tips
These are best enjoyed fresh. If you have to prep ahead, keep each layer in its own jar and assemble right before serving. Avoid storing assembled drinks for long—layers will mix.
Serving Suggestions
➤ Pair this Bomb Pop Cocktail with burgers, BBQ ribs, or grilled corn.
➤ Serve in clear tall glasses to show off the layers.
➤ Garnish with a Bomb Pop popsicle or a mini sparkler (just make sure it’s safe!).
FAQ
What Type Of Glass Should I Use For This Bomb Pop Cocktail Recipe?
I like using 16-ounce clear glasses or mason jars. The taller and narrower, the better to show off those layers.
How Can I Prevent The Layers From Mixing?
Pour slowly over the back of a spoon and use lots of small ice. This helps slow the pour and keeps colors from bleeding into each other.
How Long Do The Layers Last Before They Begin Mixing?
You’ve got about 5–10 minutes before the layers start to blend. So serve right after assembling!
How Can I Make These Patriotic Cocktails Into Mocktails?
Skip the vodka and use blue raspberry sports drink or soda instead. You’ll still get the color and flavor—just without the alcohol.
How Should I Pour Each Layer Into My Glasses?
Use a spoon! Hold it upside down against the inside of the glass and slowly pour the liquid over it. This stops it from diving into the layer below.
How Do You Ensure That The Colors Stay Separate In This Cocktail?
It’s all about density and patience. Grenadine is heaviest, so it goes first. Lemonade and vodka are lighter, and blue raspberry vodka is lightest. Don’t stir. Just pour slowly over ice.
Conclusion
This Bomb Pop Cocktail Drink is seriously my go-to for any summer celebration. It’s simple, fun, and always gets people talking. Whether you’re hosting a backyard bash or just hanging out on the porch, this drink is a total crowd-pleaser.
