Notes
Substitutions: Replace the tequila and orange liqueur with limeade or sparkling water for an alcohol free version.
Tips: Pour slowly over the back of a spoon and chill the glasses so the layers stay distinct. Please drink responsibly and do not drive after drinking.
Storage: Serve fresh. Leftover blended layers can be frozen in covered containers for up to 1 week.
