Fireworks in a Bottle Cocktail


  • Author: Jessica
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

  • 🍓 1 oz strawberry vodka – juicy base flavor with a berry twist

  • 🍊 1 oz orange liqueur (like Cointreau) – bright citrus boost

  • 💙 1 oz blue curaçao – vivid color with sweet orange essence

  • 🍋 0.5 oz lemon juice (fresh) – cuts through the sweetness

  • 🧃 2 oz sparkling lemonade or citrus soda – adds fizz and lightness

  • 1/4 tsp edible glitter (red, silver, or gold) – shimmer like fireworks

  • 🍬 1 tsp popping candy (optional) – for fun fizzy texture

  • 🧊 Ice – for shaking

  • 🥂 Optional: splash of prosecco or champagne – for extra sparkle

  • 🍒 Garnish: maraschino cherry or sugar rim – for a festive finish


Instructions

Step 1:
In a cocktail shaker, add ice, strawberry vodka, orange liqueur, blue curaçao, and lemon juice.

Step 2:
Add edible glitter and popping candy into the shaker. Be prepared—it might fizz a little!

Step 3:
Shake well for 15–20 seconds until chilled and glitter is fully mixed.

Step 4:
Strain into a champagne flute or a tall, narrow glass to enhance the visual effect.

Step 5:
Top with sparkling lemonade or soda for fizz, or use prosecco/champagne for a boozy upgrade.

Step 6:
Garnish with a sugar rim, maraschino cherry, or a small sparkler stick (unlit until serving) for the perfect fireworks finish.

Notes

These bombs are very forgiving, but a few key tips ensure success:

  • Chill the glass before serving to keep the bubbles lively.

  • Add soda last to preserve fizz and avoid overflow.

  • Edible glitter should be added just before shaking—not earlier, or it may clump.

  • Popping candy dissolves fast—add right before serving for full effect.

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
