Ingredients
To craft this heavenly and dreamy cocktail, gather the following:
-
1.5 oz vanilla vodka – Adds a smooth, creamy base with a hint of dessert-like flavor.
-
1 oz blue curaçao 💙 – For the bright blue hue and a light orange-flavored twist.
-
1 oz cotton candy syrup – Provides the signature sweetness and candy-shop character.
-
2 oz cream soda – Adds softness, bubbles, and a creamy finish.
-
1/2 oz lemon juice 🍋 – Balances the sweetness with a pop of acidity.
-
Ice 🧊 – To chill and slightly dilute for balance.
-
Garnish: Cotton candy fluff & colorful sprinkles – The magic touch that brings the theme to life.
Optional: Edible glitter, star-shaped sprinkles, or a glow cube for nighttime events.
Instructions
Step 1: Chill Your Glass
Before you start mixing, place your cocktail glass (a coupe, martini glass, or stemless wine glass) in the freezer. This ensures the drink stays cold and helps with presentation.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the following:
-
1.5 oz vanilla vodka
-
1 oz blue curaçao
-
1 oz cotton candy syrup
-
1/2 oz lemon juice
Shake for about 15–20 seconds, until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy.
Step 3: Pour and Add Soda
Strain the shaken mixture into your chilled glass filled with fresh ice. Then, top with 2 oz of cream soda. Pour slowly to maintain a nice layering and avoid too much fizz disruption.
Step 4: Garnish
Right before serving, gently place a fluff of cotton candy on top of the glass. Sprinkle colorful edible sprinkles on or around the cotton candy for that playful candy-shop vibe.
✨ Pro Tip: Let your guests drop the cotton candy into the drink themselves—it will dissolve dramatically into the blue base, releasing a final burst of sweetness and fun.
Notes
The Blueberry Candy Cloud is all about timing and drama. The cotton candy garnish should be added last, right before the drink is served, to maintain its fluffy shape. It begins to melt when exposed to moisture, so it’s best enjoyed within minutes of serving.
This drink isn’t just for parties—it’s perfect for those moments when you want to indulge your inner child while still keeping your cocktail classy.
