Red, white and blue lemonade

This lemonade has magical look. When you pour grenadine syrup over ice some of them will stay on ice then when you add lemonade it creates spreading hues of red from the blue rock like ice and as ice melts the blue will start turning in to purple because of acid reaction and mixing of grenadine.
