Expert Notes
The key to successful layering is pouring very slowly over the back of a spoon to prevent the layers from mixing.
The drink will eventually mix together as the ice melts.
If you can't find non-alcoholic vodka alternative, you can substitute with club soda or sprite (though this will make it sweeter).
For the blue curaçao syrup, you can use Monin Blue Curaçao Syrup or another non-alcoholic blue syrup.
