this RECIPE

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Mix the Base
   In a goblet or large cocktail glass, pour in the vodka, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice. Stir gently to combine.

4. Garnish
   Drop in 5–10 fresh blueberries for a “floating planet” effect. Decorate the base of the glass or plate with sugared gummy balls for a sweet, whimsical finish.

Helpful Tips

• Chill everything before assembling so the sherbet melts slowly, not instantly.
• Make it a mocktail by skipping the vodka—just as fun and tasty!
• Change up the sherbet flavor—raspberry gives a deep galaxy pink hue, while orange makes it more sunset-y.
• Garnish with glow sticks or candy swizzle sticks for a truly stellar party touch.

Conservation and Storage

This drink is made to sip fresh. Once the sherbet starts melting, you want to enjoy it while it’s cold and fizzy. If you’re prepping for a party:

• Pre-mix the vodka, juices, and soda and chill in a pitcher
• Assemble per glass with sherbet and garnishes just before serving

Storage Instructions

• Unassembled base: Store in the fridge up to 24 hours.
• Sherbet: Keep frozen and add right before serving.
• Fully assembled drinks: Best enjoyed within 10 minutes—don’t wait too long or the fizz will fade and sherbet will melt fully.

Substitutions and Variations

• No vodka? No problem! Try coconut water or extra pineapple juice.
• Cranberry alternative: Use pomegranate or cherry juice for a different twist.
• Different soda: Swap soda water with lemon-lime soda for more sweetness.
• Garnish with rock candy for extra flair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I serve this in a punch bowl?

Yes! Just scale up the base mixture, then float scoops of sherbet and fruit on top before guests arrive.

Is this drink very sweet?

It’s balanced. The cranberry adds tartness, and the sherbet sweetens it up as it melts. Use soda water to tone it down, or lemon-lime soda to turn up the sweetness.

Can kids drink this?

Absolutely—just leave out the vodka, and you’ve got a festive mocktail they’ll love!
