Ingredients

  • 1 cup cotton candy (any color you like)
  • 1 cup vodka (choose your favorite brand)
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda (chilled for best fizz)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 10 popsicle molds
  • 10 popsicle sticks

Directions

1️⃣ Prepare Your Workspace

Gather all your ingredients and make sure your popsicle molds are clean and ready to use.

2️⃣ Mix Cotton Candy and Liquids

In a large mixing bowl, add the cotton candy first. Pour in the vodka and lemon-lime soda. The carbonation in the soda will cause the cotton candy to fizz and dissolve—this is normal and fun to watch!

3️⃣ Stir Until Smooth

Gently stir the mixture with a spoon until the cotton candy is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. If you want your popsicles sweeter, add the optional tablespoon of sugar and stir until dissolved.

4️⃣ Add Fresh Lemon Juice

Pour in the fresh lemon juice and mix well to balance the sweetness with a fresh, tangy note.

5️⃣ Fill the Popsicle Molds

Carefully pour the cotton candy vodka mixture into each popsicle mold. Leave a small gap at the top of each mold to allow for expansion during freezing.

6️⃣ Insert Sticks and Freeze

Place the popsicle sticks into the molds, making sure they are centered and straight. Put the molds into the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until fully solid.

7️⃣ Unmold and Enjoy

To remove the popsicles, run warm water on the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for later.

Tips & Variations

  • Non-Alcoholic Version: Simply substitute vodka with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water for a kid-friendly version.
  • Flavor Variations: Try swapping lemon-lime soda for other flavored sodas like orange or berry for a different twist.
  • Colorful Pops: Use different colors of cotton candy in each mold to create a rainbow effect.
  • Garnishes: Sprinkle edible glitter or colored sugar on the surface before freezing for extra sparkle.
