Ingredients
Mocktail Ingredients
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda or sparkling water
- 1 tbsp raspberry syrup or grenadine
- Pink or blue cotton candy (enough for a generous tuft)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a clear glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and provide a crisp base for the mocktail.
- Add Soda: Pour 1 cup of lemon-lime soda or sparkling water over the ice, creating the fizzy base for the drink.
- Mix in Syrup: Stir in 1 tablespoon of raspberry syrup or grenadine evenly into the soda to add a sweet and fruity flavor along with a beautiful color contrast.
- Top with Cotton Candy: Just before serving, place a generous tuft of pink or blue cotton candy on top of the glass. The cotton candy will slowly melt when it contacts the soda, creating a magical visual and a burst of sweetness.
- Serve Immediately: Present the drink right away to enjoy the cotton candy dissolving effect and the fizzy sensation of the drink at its freshest.
Notes
- Add the cotton candy at the table or just prior to serving for the best visual and taste effect.
- Experiment with flavored cotton candy varieties to customize the taste experience.
- This mocktail works wonderfully in mason jars or clear cups to showcase the dissolving cotton candy.
