Equipment

1 popsicle mold used one with 8 holes and sticks included

Ingredients

1 jar maraschino cherries
2 c sprite or 7 up, more or less depending on how large your mold is
2 c Gatorade or powerade, blue color, more or less depending on mold size

Instructions

For the red we used cherry juice as the first layer, Put 1 cherry (without stem) into the bottom of your popsicle mold along with enough cherry juice to almost cover it and put it in the freezer for 2 hours so it is hard.
Take mold out and pour in 1/3 sprite or 7 up leaving enough space for the last 1/3 of the hole for the blue color. Freeze for 1-2 hours until hard.
Pour in last blue Gatorade layer and then place plastic popsicle sticks inside and freeze for remaining 1-2 hours or until hard.
Run popsicle mold under room temp. water, twist handles and pull out of the mold to enjoy.
