In this recipe, seasonal fresh fruits are puréed and mixed with Navan vanilla liqueur.

You can serve the flag-themed cocktails as a trio of shots, or pour them as standard drinks.

• Get the recipe for red, white & blue cocktail shots.
• For a bright red cocktail packed with antioxidants that can also be served virgin, look at these cherry juice cocktails.

And now for dessert:

• Bake “Stars & Strips” Toll House cookies.
• Make July 4th strawberries: fresh strawberries (red) dipped in white chocolate and blue sugar.

Stay tuned for more!
