1. Infuse Your Vodka (Optional but Flavorful)

If you have time, consider melting the Laffy Taffy into your vodka in advance:

• Place 1–2 pieces of Laffy Taffy into a jar with 2 oz of vodka.

• Shake well and let sit for 30 minutes, shaking occasionally.

• Strain before use if necessary (or leave in if you like a bit of texture).

Alternatively, you can simply shake the Laffy Taffy in the cocktail shaker to let it break down while mixing.

2. Rim the Glass

• Combine granulated sugar with lemon zest on a small plate.

• Rub a lemon wedge along the rim of your cocktail glass.

• Dip the rim into the sugar-zest mix until fully coated.

• Chill the glass in the fridge or freezer while you make the drink.

3. Shake the Cocktail

• In a cocktail shaker, combine:

  • 2 oz vodka

  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice

  • 1 oz simple syrup

  • 1 piece of lemon Laffy Taffy (if not pre-infused)

• Add ice and shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds. This helps break down the candy and chill the drink thoroughly.

4. Strain and Serve

• Strain the mixture into your prepared glass.

• Garnish with a small Laffy Taffy piece on a cocktail pick, a lemon wheel, or a twist of lemon peel.

5. Enjoy!

Serve immediately while it’s icy cold. This drink is best enjoyed fresh to savor the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and fun.
