You can purchase a layering tool through Amazon. This is a simple tool to use.

A layering tool costs around $25. You need the cocktail layering tool, not the layering tool for beers. 

CAN I MAKE THIS COCKTAIL WITH REGULAR LEMONADE INSTEAD OF ICE LEMONADE?

This cocktail will taste great with any kind of lemonade.
