Decorations for the cup rim:
- lime wedges
- ¼ cup sprinkles or decorating sugar
drink
- 3 oz. cotton candy
- 12 oz. lemon-lime soda
Garnishes:
- 3 oz. of cotton candy
- cherry optional
decorating the rim: (optional)
cut a wedge of lime and slice it open in the middle
pour a good amount of sprinkles onto a small plate - deep enough so it will coat the rim of a cup
use the lime wedge to moisten your cup - slide it all the way around the rim so it is completely wet on the outside
turn the cup upside down into a plate full of sprinkles so they coat the rim
making the drink
carefully, so you don't mess up your sprinkles, place some cotton candy in the bottom of a cup - The amount will vary depending on your cup. I measured out about 1 cup of cotton candy for each of my 16 0z. cups
pour soda over the cotton candy and watch it dissolve into the soda
decorate with more cotton candy at the top of the cup and add a straw. Decorative cotton candy should not touch the liquid. If it does, it will quickly dissolve,
The amount of cotton candy that you use will vary. If you think the drink needs more cotton candy flavor, toss some more. It will dissolve immediately.
