You're going to love my recipe for this Fourth of July Cocktail because it's fruity, flavorful, and easy to make! Plus, it's refreshing and light - perfect for enjoying on a hot summer day.

While you fire up the grill and pull the pasta salad out of the refrigerator, don't forget to mix up a drink, too.

This Fourth of July cocktail is made with a few simple ingredients: clear rum, blue curacao, peach schnapps, and club soda. Perfect for your next summer celebration, barbecue, or July 4th party!

Blue curaçao

Blue curacao is where you'll get your bright blue color in this recipe, so it's a must if you're looking for a blue cocktail. Plus, it's inexpensive and easy to keep on hand for making more fun cocktails in the future.

I've been able to find it at any local liquor store near the schnapps and other flavored liquors.

Club soda substitutions

I am all about a cool and refreshing cocktail in the summer months. I chose to use club soda in this recipe to keep the calories low and the drink light and refreshing.

If you prefer, you can use sprite instead. Keep in mind, this will make your drink sweeter and higher in calories.

A red and white striped straw is the perfect addition to this blue cocktail.

Drink garnishes

To make your drinks more festive, try adding a fun patterned paper straw to your drinks, or glittery swizzle sticks.

If you don't have cherries on hand, try adding an orange or peach slice instead.

Or, rim the glass with red or white sugar.
