Instructions

1

Create the Bottom Layer

Pour grenadine syrup slowly into the bottom of two tall clear glasses so it settles at the very bottom without mixing.

2

Add the Middle Layer

Mix white grape juice with blue food coloring and slowly pour it over the back of a spoon into each glass so it floats above the grenadine layer.

3

Top with Soda and Watch

Gently pour lemon-lime soda down the side of the glass to create the top layer and watch the lava lamp bubbling effect begin as the carbonation moves the layers.

Substitutions

white grape juiceclear apple juice
grenadine syruppomegranate juice for a natural alternative

Common mistakes

Pouring layers too quickly causes them to blend together and ruins the lava lamp layered effect
Skipping the back-of-spoon technique for pouring makes layers merge instead of staying separated
