Cotton Candy Clouds

 The cotton candy clouds cocktail is inspired by this Bath and Body Works fragrance:


About the fragrance

I was gifted the fragrance mist and body lotion in 2022. It was a new fragrance at the time. It is currently unavailable online, but it will hopefully be back this summer.

The scent notes listed for this fragrance are:

Spun sugar

Pink berries

Whipped vanilla

Designing the cocktail

I used strawberry sparkling water for the mixer. Strawberry soda would work as well. I added raspberry vodka to further contribute to the pink berries note. For the spun sugar, I made a cotton candy flavored simple syrup by boiling equal parts sugar and water and adding Lorann cotton candy flavoring. I used vanilla vodka for the last note.

Recipe

1 oz raspberry vodka

1 oz vanilla vodka

1 oz cotton candy flavored simple syrup

6 oz strawberry sparkling water or soda

Place two ice cubes in a glass. Add raspberry vodka, vanilla vodka, and cotton candy flavored simple syrup. Pour in strawberry sparkling water or soda. For a non-alcoholic version, omit the raspberry vodka and vanilla vodka. Add raspberry simple syrup and vanilla simple syrup.

The finished cocktail


 
I enjoyed the sweet fruitiness of this cocktail. The strawberry and raspberry flavors were the most obvious, while the cotton candy and vanilla were harder to detect. It was not very visually interesting, but that could be changed by using a pink strawberry soda or sparkling water rather than clear. I would recommend this cocktail to anyone who likes sweet fruity flavors and doesn't care whether a cocktail is Instagram-worthy.
