Ingredients
For One Serving:
-
2 oz vodka (plain or flavored like berry, citrus, or even cotton candy for extra whimsy)
-
1 oz lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7Up – or use club soda for a drier fizz)
-
½ oz sweet and sour mix (for a tangy citrus base)
-
½ oz simple syrup (adjust to taste depending on Fun Dip flavor)
-
1 tsp Fun Dip powder (any flavor—cherry, grape, blue raspberry work great)
-
Ice cubes
Optional Garnishes & Add-Ons:
-
Extra Fun Dip powder (for rimming the glass)
-
Fun Dip candy stick or sour belt (for garnish)
-
Pop Rocks, sour sugar, or edible glitter (for added flair)
-
Fruit slice (like lemon, lime, or cherry to match Fun Dip flavor)
Instructions
1. Rim the Glass (Optional but Recommended):
To kick up the candy appeal, rim your glass with Fun Dip powder:
-
Pour a little simple syrup or lemon juice onto a small plate.
-
On another plate, spread a layer of Fun Dip powder.
-
Dip the rim of a chilled highball or rocks glass into the syrup, then dip it into the candy powder. Let it dry for 1–2 minutes for a vibrant, flavorful crust.
2. Mix the Base Cocktail:
-
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine:
-
2 oz vodka
-
½ oz sweet and sour mix
-
½ oz simple syrup
-
1 tsp Fun Dip powder
-
-
Shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds. The candy powder will dissolve and infuse the drink with flavor and color.
3. Pour and Top:
-
Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
-
Top with 1 oz lemon-lime soda (or club soda for a cleaner fizz).
-
Stir gently to combine and enhance that fizzy pop.
4. Garnish and Serve:
-
Garnish with a Fun Dip stick, a sour belt twisted on a skewer, or a slice of matching citrus.
-
Serve immediately with a straw or candy stirrer—and watch the magic happen.
Notes
-
Fun Dip dissolves beautifully in liquids, giving both flavor and color without needing artificial syrups. Each flavor transforms the base drink uniquely, with cherry adding a bold red hue, grape turning the mix a royal purple, and blue raspberry offering a fun electric blue twist.
-
Vodka is your blank canvas—plain vodka keeps the drink neutral, while flavored vodkas enhance the candy profile. Citrus vodka brightens everything, while berry vodka amps up the sweetness.
-
Balance is key—Fun Dip is sugary, so the sweet and sour mix and optional simple syrup should be adjusted to your taste.
