Instructions
Fill a clear Masters cup or highball glass 1/2 way with ice. This step helps chill the glass.
Pour the pink lemonade into the glass, filling it about one-third of the way full.
Using the back of a bar spoon, gently pour the Sprite on the spoon and then dribble over the lemonade. You want about an inch of Sprite to go on top of the lemonade.

Serve the drink immediately.

Tip: How To Layer A Cocktail or Drink
There are a few tricks to getting the perfect layered drink, and would you believe using a spoon is the most important? Layering a cocktail with a spoon involves slowly pouring the ingredients over the back of a spoon to create distinct layers in the drink. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to layer a cocktail with a spoon:
Chill the glass: Start by chilling the glass in the freezer for a few minutes before you begin layering the drink. Chilling will help the layers to settle and create a cleaner line between them. If the recipe calls for ice, add it at this stage.
Add the heaviest liquid first: Pour the heaviest liquid into the glass first. This is usually a syrup, juice, or liqueur that will form the drink's base.
Place a spoon over the glass: Take a spoon and place it upside down over the top of the glass so that the rounded side is facing upwards.
Pour the next liquid slowly: Slowly pour the next liquid over the back of the spoon, allowing it to trickle into the glass. The spoon helps to slow down the flow of the liquid, which will prevent it from mixing with the first layer. Pour the liquid in a circular motion to create an even layer.
Repeat: Repeat this process with each layer of liquid, making sure to pour each one slowly and evenly. You may need to adjust the spoon's angle or the pour's speed for the best results. Practice makes perfect.
Add garnish: Once all the layers are in place, you can add a garnish to the top of the drink. A garnish could be a citrus wedge, a sprig of herbs, or anything else that complements the flavors in the cocktail.
Remember, layering a cocktail takes practice, so don't be discouraged if your first attempt isn't perfect. Keep practicing and experimenting with different combinations of ingredients to find your perfect layered cocktail.
How To Make A Spiked Stand 12
Fill a clear Masters cup or highball glass 1/2 way with ice. This step helps chill the glass.
Pour the pink lemonade into the glass, filling it about one-third of the way full.
Using the back of a bar spoon, gently pour 4 ounces of your favorite light liquor, such as vodka or rum, on the spoon so it dribbles over the lemonade.
Next, pour a splash of Sprite, about 2 oz, over the liquor you added. You want about an inch of Sprite to go on top of the liquor.
Next, using the back of the bar spoon, slowly pour the blue Powerade on the back of the spoon and then onto the pink lemonade and Sprite layers. Fill the glass almost to the top.
