Ingredients
Scale
Main Spirits:
- 1.5 ounces (44 milliliters) cotton candy-flavored vodka
Dairy and Cream:
- 1.5 ounces (44 milliliters) heavy cream
Accent Ingredients:
- 1 splash grenadine (for pink color)
- 1 splash blue curacao (for blue color)
- 1 piece cotton candy (for garnish)
Instructions
- Chill a cocktail shaker by filling it with ice cubes to create an optimal mixing environment.
- Pour vodka and heavy cream into the shaker, selecting either Grenadine or Blue Curacao for a vibrant color accent.
- Vigorously shake the liquid mixture for approximately 10-15 seconds to ensure thorough blending and create a smooth, frothy texture.
- Strain the chilled cocktail into a prepared shooter glass, allowing the liquid to cascade smoothly.
- Crown the shooter with a fluffy cloud of cotton candy, placing it delicately atop the drink as a whimsical and eye-catching garnish.
- Serve immediately to preserve the cotton candy’s ethereal texture and the cocktail’s refreshing temperature.
Notes
- Swap flavored vodkas to create unique taste profiles, experimenting with vanilla or cotton candy vodka for an extra sweet twist.
- Use dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream or almond milk to make this shooter suitable for lactose-intolerant guests.
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep the shooter refreshingly cold and prevent immediate melting of the cotton candy garnish.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka with cream soda or vanilla syrup, maintaining the playful dessert-like experience.
