So, I'm sharing with you how to make this cute, unique, cocktail and how it will have your guests calling you the hostess with the mostess! Just FYI...One of the key ingredients to this drink will be cotton candy, as it will essentially play the major role of the "clouds" in our "On Cloud 9" cocktail. So head over to the store, or Amazon and purchase it here like I did (this one tastes very good...I couldn't stop eating it! haha!!)
"On Cloud 9" Cocktail Recipe:
Ingredients
Garnish
1 qty 4 oz bag of cotton candy (I purchased this one off Amazon, and it tasted real good...Like the real cotton candy we grew up with at the carnival...Ahh nostalgic vibes!); You can use whatever brand or flavor you'd like, however I opted to use wedding cake flavor simply because I wanted my cotton candy to give the actual appearance of "white clouds," but you can still find different flavors with the same white color cotton candy)
Drinks
1 Splash of Sparkling Water
Wine & Liquor
1 Bottle of Moscato (I'm using 1 of my favorites from Risata called Moscato D'Asti);
1 Shot of Vodka or Rum of choice
Frozen
Ice cubes (optional)
Step 1 - Pour 6 Oz of Risata's Mosatp D'Asti in each champagne glass
Step 2 - Then Add in 1 shot of vodka or rum of choice in each champagne glass
Step 3 - Then Add 1 splash of sparkling water
Step 4 - You're going to roll up some of the cotton candy into balls big enough to be held by the rim of your champagne glass. Then place each cotton ball on the rim of each glass.
Just a little more FYI...The smaller the rim size of your drinkware, and the bigger the cotton candy ball, the easier it'll be to hold the cotton candy up without any logistical issues. But please keep in mind that the fizz of the drink will gradually consume and reduce the size of the cotton candy causing it to fall into the glass. So you'll want to arrange these drinks 15-20 minutes prior to your guests arriving. You can also utilize fancy toothpicks to prolong the hold of the cotton candy even longer, but I was fine with my cotton candy ball of clouds lasting for quite a while.
