Pop Rocks Electric Lemonade Cocktail


  • Author: Jessica
  • Total Time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 1 cocktail

  • 🍋 2 oz citrus vodka

  • 🧊 1 oz blue curaçao

  • 🍋 3 oz lemonade (freshly squeezed or store-bought)

  • 🍬 1 packet Pop Rocks (any flavor) – for rimming the glass

  • 🍯 1 tbsp honey or corn syrup – for sticking the Pop Rocks to the rim

  • 🍋 Lemon wheel or twist – for garnish

  • 🧊 Ice cubes


Instructions

Step 1: Rim the Glass with Pop Rocks

  • Pour your Pop Rocks onto a small flat plate.

  • On another plate, pour a little honey or corn syrup.

  • Dip the rim of your glass into the sticky liquid, then roll it in the Pop Rocks.

  • Set the glass aside and let it dry for a minute.

💡 Tip: Rim just before serving so the candy doesn’t dissolve from humidity.


Step 2: Mix the Drink

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice:

  • Add 2 oz citrus vodka

  • Add 1 oz blue curaçao

  • Add 3 oz lemonade

  • Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to chill and combine.


Step 3: Pour and Garnish

  • Strain the mixture into your Pop Rocks-rimmed glass filled with ice.

  • Garnish with a lemon wheel or twist.

💥 Optional: Drop in a few extra Pop Rocks for a fizzy surprise at the bottom or add an LED glow cube for party flair!

Notes

  • Work fast with Pop Rocks—humidity or waiting too long will dissolve them.

  • Use fresh lemonade for the best tart-sweet balance.

  • Chill all ingredients—this cocktail is best ice-cold.
