Helpful Tips for the Best Bubblegum Bliss Cocktail

  1. 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.
  2. Use Clear Vodka – Stick with unflavored vodka for the best bubblegum taste. Flavored vodkas may alter the final flavor of your drink.
  3. Enhance the Presentation – A cotton candy garnish or rock candy stick makes this cocktail even more fun and Instagram-worthy!
  4. Keep the Rim Sugar from Falling Off – Dip the rim in simple syrup or honey before coating with pink sugar for better adhesion.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. 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!
  8. Use a Fun Glass – A martini glass, coupe glass, or even a mason jar with a straw makes this drink feel extra special.
  9. Chill Everything for the Best Flavor – Keep your vodka, liqueur, and pink lemonade in the fridge before mixing so your cocktail stays cold longer.
  10. 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!

  • Make It Stronger: Add an extra ½ oz vodka for a bolder kick.
