24 Fourth of July Drinks

We get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.

Whether or not you celebrate the Fourth of July, it’s a good excuse to indulge in a cocktail. Choosing Fourth of July drinks is easy: just pick drinks that are red, white or blue, perfect for barbecuing, and/or that have any kind of American history or theme to them.

Delicious Fourth of July drinks. Mostly red, white and blue cocktails, and also some classic cocktails created in the US, plus some Americana themed drinks. Great for barbecues or just a quiet drink while watching fireworks.

Red, White and Blue Drinks

1. Fourth of July. This gorgeous layered shot is red, white (or clear) and blue. Layering is easier than you think! Scroll down for my layering video tutorial.

9. Razz, White, & Blueberry Smoothies {Non-Alcoholic}. It’s always good to have some mocktail options for guests, but you can also add some vodka or rum.

Red Drinks

10. Americano. It’s red, it’s bubbly, and the name is just perfect. This is a Campari based bittersweet cocktail with cherry and grape notes.

The Americano Cocktail recipe blends Campari with sweet vermouth and soda water.

11. Blackberry Thyme Champagne. A beautiful red drink served in champagne flutes, because sometimes you need something more upscale.

12. Red Hot Shots. Tastes so much like the candy, featuring Aftershock cinnamon schnapps and tequila. This one goes down smooth, and is always a big hit at parties.

22. Blue Hawaiian. It’s blue, and it has the name of a state in it, which makes it ideal a Fourth of July celebration.

The Blue Hawaiian is similar to the Pina Colada, with rum, pineapple juice and cream of coconut - a little taste of tropical paradise. The big difference is the beautiful ocean blue color. Learn how to make one here! #mixthatdrink #bluehawaiian #happyhour #drinkrecipes #cocktails

Fourth of July Infusions

If none of these Fourth of July drinks are quite doing it for you, you can also create an infusion that’s red, white or blue. You could either serve it straight up or use it in cocktails to add some Fourth of July colors.

  • Marshmallow Infused Vodka – infuse some vodka with marshmallow. This one tastes great – lightly sweet – straight up, or you can substitute it for vanilla vodka or Baileys in other recipes.
  • Jolly Ranchers Vodka – this is the easiest way to create some red and blue flavored vodkas. The flavors will be cherry or Cinnamon Fire for the red, and raspberry for the blue.

Have fun!
