These Fourth of July Fruit Skewers are perfect for a summer cocktail or snack with blueberries and watermelon. Quick and easy recipe!
These Fourth of July Fruit Skewers don’t really require a recipe but I thought I’d share the idea in case you need a last minute Fourth of July recipe. These fruit skewers are great by themselves, as a snack, as a healthy dessert, or put them in your favorite cocktails or drinks for a fun Fourth of July decoration!
Happy Fourth of July! You can never have enough red, white, and blue recipes right??? Like I said, no recipe really needed for these fruit skewers. I took a star cookie cutter and cut out some seedless watermelon then put the star shaped watermelon on wooden skewers along with some blueberries. If you’re wondering about the cocktail, it’s just a little blue curacao with some lemon-lime soda (or you could use ginger ale). Easy right?
Hope you enjoy!

Isn’t blue curacao alcohol? Is that something that is safe for a 4 year old?
I guess just the skewers part was for kids, and not the drink? I hope.
Yes, the skewers are kid friendly, the cocktail is not. For something kid-friendly, you could add a little blue JELLO or food coloring to soda, fruit juice, or water.
these are SO cute! I bet my daughter would love to make these for her friends
These are such a cute, creative idea for the 4th! Great way to make drinks look super festive!
My 4 year old would love to eat these (minus the alcohol-we’ll add that to Mom and Dad’s) on the 4th! They look pretty easy to make so maybe I’ll let him fill his own skewer.
Hey Lisa – love these patriotic little skewers. So clever and festive! Quick and easy too….thanks for the inspiration!
Very cute! Happy 4th!
