Ingredients
Scale
For the Rim (optional):
- 1 lime wedge
- ¼ cup sprinkles or decorating sugar
Drink:
- 3 oz cotton candy (per 16 oz glass)
- 12 oz lemon-lime soda
Garnishes:
- 3 oz extra cotton candy (to top, not touching drink)
- Maraschino cherry (optional)
Instructions
- Decorate the rim: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it and help the sprinkles or decorating sugar stick. Then, dip the glass rim carefully into the sprinkles or sugar until fully coated.
- Add cotton candy: Place 3 ounces of cotton candy at the bottom of each 16-ounce glass, taking care to avoid the rim to preserve your decoration.
- Pour soda: Slowly pour 12 ounces of lemon-lime soda over the cotton candy. Watch as the cotton candy dissolves into the soda, creating a light, fizzy, and sweet beverage.
- Garnish: Carefully place extra cotton candy on top of the glass without allowing it to touch the liquid to maintain its fluffiness. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry or a straw for extra visual appeal and flavor.
Notes
- For an added twist, experiment with flavored sodas or sparkling water to change the drink’s flavor profile.
- Use cotton candy fresh and dry for the best visual and taste effect.
- To avoid the cotton candy dissolving too quickly on top, ensure it does not touch the liquid.
- This drink is non-alcoholic and perfect for all ages.
