Bubble gum (for infusing the vodka)

3. Mix the Drink

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine:
✅ 1 oz bubblegum-infused vodka
✅ 2 oz Kinky Pink Liqueur
✅ 2 oz pink lemonade
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

4. Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into the rimmed martini glass.
Top with lemon-lime soda for a fizzy finish.

5. Garnish and Enjoy!

Place a pink lollipop on the rim or inside the glass for an extra fun touch.
Sip and enjoy this playful, sweet cocktail!

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!
