FOOD FUN: Rainbow Sangria With Colored Ice Cubes

What’s new in sangria?

This clever idea from I|O Godfrey, a rooftop lounge at The Godfrey Hotel in Chicago. (In fact, it’s Chicago’s largest indoor/outdoor rooftop.)

An array of colored ice cubes is made from fresh fruit juices.

After they’re piled high in a tall glass, a blend of Moscato and vodka is poured from a pitcher at the table. The result: food art.

If you’d like to serve it at home, here’s a guide:
 
 
COLORED ICE CUBES

  • Green: honeydew (juiced), lime Juice
  • Orange: cantaloupe (juiced), orange juice
  • Pink: red/pink grapefruit juice, watermelon juice
  • Purple: blueberry juice, grape juice
  • Red: cranberry juice, pomegranate juice
  • Yellow: lemonade, pineapple juice
  •  
    What about blue?

    For the blue ice cubes, you can use:

  • Blue curaçao diluted in water (so it will freeze)
  • Blue Hawaiian Punch
  • Blue food color (which won’t have flavor)
  • Homemade blue juice*
  •  
    How fun is this sangria?

    Just try it!
