This Bomb Pop Cocktail is the most cool and refreshing way to celebrate Fourth of July. Patriotic and perfect for showing off your red, white and blue, this July 4th Red White and Blue Frozen Bomb Pop Cocktail is the ideal Independence Day drink.
It’s that time of year again, Friends! Time to fire up the barbecue, blow stuff up and break out everything red, white and blue you can find. That’s right… it’s all about the Fourth of July and that means it’s time for a great big July 4th Red White and Blue Frozen Bomb Pop Cocktail!!!!
As I have mentioned before, July 4th is a very big deal in my family. There is always lots of cold drinks, tables of amazing food, the occasional round of burnt hamburgers, games set up on the lawn for the kids (small and grown up) and fireworks by the TRUCKLOADS. It’s always a great day spent with family and friends to celebrate the birth of the good ol’ U.S.A.

This is the most amazing drink and the flavors will take you right back to that age when all you were allowed to touch were sparklers and Bang Snaps.
Of course, copious amounts of alcohol will remind you that you aren’t that kid anymore 🙂
WHAT GIVES BOMB POP COCKTAILS THEIR RED, WHITE AND BLUE COLORS?
As much as I would love to say you just take a Bomb Pop Popsicle and let it melt in a glass, it’s not quite that easy. July 4th Red White and Blue Frozen Bomb Pop Cocktails are made with vodka, grenadine for the ‘red’ and blue curacao for the ‘blue’.
HOW DO YOU MAKE BOMB POP COCKTAILS?
Easy! To make your July 4th Red White and Blue Frozen Bomb Pop Cocktails, start by making a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a microwave safe bowl and heating on High for 2 minutes. Remove and stir sugar until completely dissolved and then move to the refrigerator – COOL COMPLETELY (really really important!!.. trust me, I learned the hard way). Once cooled, add 2 oz of the simple syrup to your blender along with the lemon flavored vodka and 3 cups of ice. Blend on High until the ice reaches a slushy consistency.. add more ice if necessary.
Move the lemon ice to a glass and place in the freezer while you prepare the other layers. Add 2 oz of simple syrup to the blender with the cherry vodka and the Grenadine and then add 3 cups of ice. Blend on high until it reaches the slushy consistency and then move that to a glass and place into the freezer. Rinse out the blender.. and the top …. Add 2 oz of simple syrup to the blender with the raspberry vodka and the Blue Curacao and then add another 3 cups of ice and then blend on high until it reaches the slushy consistency. Take out the other two glasses from the freezer and spoon red white and blue layers into a tall glass. Serve immediately.
Now, melting into a puddle of blue eye shadow and frizzy hair from the heat and humidity would truly be tragic. This Fourth of July tragedy can be avoided by one easy step. The July 4th Red White and Blue Frozen Bomb Pop Cocktail! It’s festive, it’s frozen and when you leave the A/C and go outside to battle the heat, you will be met with OOOOs and AAAAAHHHs as everyone takes in your amazing red white and blue drink glass of refreshing AWESOMENESS!!
God Bless America!

Wow, I’m intrigued by all the colors especially the blue. You are very creative!
Such a festive drink! Thank you for the tip of making simple syrup in the microwave! And here I was slaving away at the simple syrup on the stove. ????
I used to love bomb pops as a kid! I remember my mother driving me down the street to catch the ice cream man to get one. I will definitely have to try this drink this summer!
This would be so much fun to serve at our first pool party this summer! I used to love bomb pops as a kid!
What a great idea. Independence Day is huge with us — we always celebrate big time. I love the glasses! It’s a great idea to be able to personalize them and the drink is amazing. This is something I’ll have to try on the 4th.
Super cute and fun for a summer party! Love the slushiness of these, you could sip it for a while, I bet!
Burnt hamburgers… LOL! I remember bomb pops from my childhood (fondly). This is such a fun drink. Happy 4th of July in advance!
I never think of making frozen drinks at home, but what a simple and fun idea! and I love the layers of color too. I’m definitely seeing these at our parties this summer
Oh, my word.. this is a party in a glass!! Love this – so colorful and pretty. I bet you must have the best party in town on the 4th of July. I wanna try this soon.
What a fun drink, I’m so excited to make it!
Wow! The colours look delicious in this recipe! Unfortunately I live in Canada so we don’t celebrate the Fourth of July but this looks amazing!
Wow, so creative! Thanks for the idea!
Thank you Igor.. thanks for stopping by 🙂
What a fun drink! I bet this is something that kids would love too.
Totally easy to switch out the alcohol .. add in some fruit juice to the red and blue layers and you are good to go!
Sounds like a party in a glass. I’m sure they will be a hit and perfect for your holiday celebration.
Thank you Gloria 🙂
These are so Festive! Love the straws with the sparkling tinsel parts!
I love how the red, white and blue layers show up in the glasses … I’m so tempted to reach through the screen to grab a tall cold drink right now… it’s 95 degrees and 95% humidity in Ohio today.
Thank you Noel!! You and I are in the same boat when it comes to the weather. C’mon down.. we will eat and drink and float in the pool 🙂
