Notes
The layers will stay separate when pouring each ingredient over the back of a spoon. Pour slowly to maintain distinct color bands.
Substitute strawberry vodka for vanilla vodka to enhance the berry flavor.
Keep ingredients chilled before mixing for best results. Room temperature liquids may blend together more easily.
Make alcohol-free versions using strawberry syrup, cream, and blue raspberry syrup.
