3. Mix the Drink
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine:
✅ 1 oz bubblegum-infused vodka

✅ 2 oz pink lemonade - Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

Notes
- How to Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the Kinky Pink Liqueur to 1.5 oz and add an extra splash of lemonade.
- Make it a Mocktail: Skip the vodka and Kinky Pink Liqueur, and instead mix pink lemonade, lemon-lime soda, and a splash of bubblegum syrup for a kid-friendly version!
- Chilling the Glass: For an extra cooling effect, freeze your martini glass for 10 minutes before serving.
Helpful Tips for the Best Bubblegum Bliss Cocktail
- Speed Up Vodka Infusion – Short on time? Instead of waiting overnight, shake the vodka and bubble gum together for 3-5 minutes and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before straining.
- Use Clear Vodka – Stick with unflavored vodka for the best bubblegum taste. Flavored vodkas may alter the final flavor of your drink.
- Enhance the Presentation – A cotton candy garnish or rock candy stick makes this cocktail even more fun and Instagram-worthy!
- Keep the Rim Sugar from Falling Off – Dip the rim in simple syrup or honey before coating with pink sugar for better adhesion.
- Shake It Well! – Proper shaking helps chill the drink and mix the flavors evenly. Shake for at least 15 seconds until the shaker feels cold to the touch.
- Balance the Sweetness – If you prefer a less sweet drink, use club soda instead of lemon-lime soda. If you love it extra sweet, add a splash of bubblegum syrup!
- Make a Big Batch for a Party – Multiply the ingredients by the number of guests and serve in a large punch bowl or dispenser. Just add the soda right before serving to keep it fizzy!
- Use a Fun Glass – A martini glass, coupe glass, or even a mason jar with a straw makes this drink feel extra special.
- Chill Everything for the Best Flavor – Keep your vodka, liqueur, and pink lemonade in the fridge before mixing so your cocktail stays cold longer.
- Make It a Mocktail – For a non-alcoholic version, mix pink lemonade, lemon-lime soda, and a dash of bubblegum syrup for a fun, kid-friendly drink!
Conservation and Storage
How to Store Infused Vodka:
- Refrigerate: Bubblegum-infused vodka can be stored in an airtight bottle for up to 1 month in the fridge.
- Shake Before Using: Natural separation may occur, so give it a quick shake before making cocktails.
Substitutions and Variations
- Make It Stronger: Add an extra ½ oz vodka for a bolder kick.
- Less Sweet Version: Use soda water instead of lemon-lime soda.
- Alternative Garnishes: Swap the lollipop for cotton candy, rock candy, or a sugar rim swirl!
