FAQsCan I make this without alcohol?
Absolutely! Just swap out the vodka for some cotton candy syrup or any sweet syrup you like, and adjust the cream until it tastes right.
What else can I use to decorate this drink?
Try rimming your glass with colorful sugar or stick a small skewer with some marshmallows and cotton candy on top for extra pizzazz.
Does the cotton candy melt right away?
Yes, it starts dissolving once it touches the liquid, making the drink sweeter. That's why you should drink it right after serving.
Got no cocktail shaker - now what?
No problem! Just grab a jar with a tight lid to shake everything together, or mix it all in a glass with ice and stir it really well.
