COOKING Note:

This recipe is all about fun and fantasy. A few tips to enhance the magic:

Use clear soda to preserve the brilliant blue color.
Don’t stir after adding glitter—let it naturally swirl.
Chill your glassware to make the shimmer last longer.
Use blue food-safe edible glitter, not craft glitter.
If batching, add soda and glitter just before serving to keep the fizz and sparkle alive.

🎨 Add colored straws, themed glassware, or LED ice cubes
🥂 Serve in tiny potion bottles for fantasy-themed drink stations
🍬 Offer with a candy bar featuring blue sweets, rock candy, or gumballs

Tips:

Batch the drink (minus soda and glitter) in a pitcher—shake per glass for fresh fizz.
Add dry ice (in a safe container) for a foggy potion effect.
Use a glow-in-the-dark stir stick or neon straw under blacklight for a magical glow.
Try coconut rum instead of vodka for added sweetness.
Keep everything cold—this enhances clarity, shimmer, and flavor.
