Paleo Red, White, and Blue Cocktails (Dairy Free, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free)

These paleo red, white, and blue cocktails are perfect 4th of July cocktails: boozy, fruity layers form a striking drink that tastes delish. Easy to make and free of refined sugar and dairy, these are the perfect Memorial Day cocktails, Labor Day cocktails, or heck, just paleo summer cocktails, too. U-S-A! Easy to make with a Vitamix Blender.

I haven’t felt this patriotic since the last Olympics. Leo had just learned to mimic hand motions, and he would fist pump along to chants of U-S-A! U-S-A!

So we did that a lot, obviously.

Or maybe that time that the US team did kind of OK in the World Cup, and I bought an American flag bandana and wore it around my head, Duck Dynasty style. Except then the US dropped off, and I resumed my commitment to Lionel Messi in all forms (including sort of naming my child after him [and my late grandfather, of course], kind of? NBD).

But this? Paleo red, white, and blue cocktails that could not be more perfect for 4th of July cocktails or Memorial Day cocktails or Labor Day cocktails or Tuesday afternoon cocktails (no judgment)? This is a new level of patriotism over here. And coming mere days after my paleo American flag pie with strawberries and blueberries and freedom and fries and freedom fries – I’m a regular Paul Bunyan over here.

Was Paul Bunyan patriotic? Probably. Maybe. It’s possible. Er… yeah.

The otherwise dismal, non-festive expression of my patriotism notwithstanding, these paleo red, white, and blue cocktails are perfect for summer holidays. If you’re looking for 4th of July cocktails, Memorial Day cocktails, or Labor Day cocktails, you’ve got your recipe! These refined-sugar-free cocktails are fruity and boozy and festive and super stunning. On top of that, they’re pretty dern easy and full of healthy ingredients!

These paleo red, white, and blue cocktails are rum-infused layers of strawberry, pineapple-coconut, and blueberry. There’s no refined sugar, and the booze is definitely there without tasting strong. Kind of the perfect recipe for a paleo summer cocktail, don’t you think?

You’ll want to be careful in layering these. After severals rounds of testing (oy), the layers are quite frozen, but you still want to be careful when placing the layers on top of each other. I use a disher to help keep the portions equal and place them gently.

Ingredients

Red Layer

• ▢ 3 tablespoons honey , or agave nectar if vegan
• ▢ 2 cups frozen strawberries
• ▢ ½ half juice from 1/2 lime
• ▢ 4 ounces rum
• ▢ ½ cup ice cubes

White Layer

• ▢ ¼ cup cold coconut cream
• ▢ 1 cup frozen banana , sliced
• ▢ ½ cup frozen pineapple
• ▢ 2 ounces rum
• ▢ ½ cup ice cubes

Blue Layer

• ▢ 3 tablespoons honey , or agave nectar if vegan
• ▢ 1 ½ cups frozen blueberries
• ▢ 4 ounces rum
• ▢ ½ cup ice cubes

Instructions

• Combine all red layer ingredients and blend just until smooth in a high-speed blender. Pour into a container and place in the freezer while you make the other layers. Rinse out the blender.
• Combine all white layer ingredients and blend just until smooth in a high-speed blender. Pour into a container and place in the freezer while you make the blue layer. Rinse out the blender.
• Combine all blue layer ingredients and blend just until smooth in a high-speed blender. 
• Pour your cocktails: divided the red layer among either 2 (large) or 4 glasses. You can use a disher to help you portion these equally and delicately, if you like. Next, very carefully divide the white layer amongst the glasses and gently pour or place on top of the red layer. Finally, very carefully divide the blue layer amongst the glasses and gentle pour or place on top of white layer.

To make non-alcoholic, simply leave out the booze. It'll be great without it!

To make vegan, swap agave nectar for the honey.

This recipe makes enough for two large cocktails or four smaller ones.

I use a Vitamix high-speed blender daily, and it's wonderful for this recipe. 

I use a disher to help divide the layers and gentle place them on top of one another. They're very helpful in keeping the layers clean!
