The Magic of Layered Lemonade
Creating this enchanted drink is all about careful layering. By combining lemonade with different flavored and colored syrups, you can build multi-hued drinks that mimic a magical unicorn swirl. The trick is to slowly pour each color over the back of a spoon to layer the liquids without them mixing too quickly, resulting in a stunning ombré effect.
Garnishing and Serving Suggestions
Add edible glitter, pastel-colored funfetti sprinkles, or star-shaped fruit slices to each glass for extra enchantment. Top with a fluffy cloud of whipped cream and a rainbow straw for a final flourish. This lemonade is best served chilled over plenty of ice, making it a refreshing treat for warm sunny days.

Instructions
- Prepare the lemonade base: In a large pitcher, combine lemon juice and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then add cold water and mix well.
- Set out a variety of pastel-colored syrups (or homemade syrup mixed with a drop of food coloring) in separate bowls.
- Fill each glass with ice cubes. Pour about 1/2 cup of the lemonade into each glass, leaving plenty of room for layering.
- Slowly drizzle a tablespoon of one colored syrup over the back of a spoon so it gently settles into the lemonade, creating a layered effect. Repeat with a second color, pouring carefully to keep the lines as distinct as possible.
- Top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of edible glitter, and fresh fruit garnish. Add a rainbow straw for extra charm.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy watching the magical swirls come to life!
