Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fl oz (120 ml) dry or brut champagne or sparkling wine
- 1 large puff (about 10–15 grams) red, white, or blue cotton candy
- Fresh blueberries or raspberries (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh mint sprig (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Chill your champagne flutes in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to keep bubbles lively.
- Tear off a large, fluffy puff of cotton candy in red, white, or blue, handling gently to keep it airy.
- Using tongs or a small spoon, carefully place the cotton candy into the bottom of the chilled flute without compacting it.
- Slowly pour 4 fl oz (120 ml) of chilled champagne over the cotton candy to allow gradual dissolving and controlled fizz.
- Watch as the cotton candy dissolves immediately, creating a sparkling, sweet swirl in the glass.
- Garnish with a couple of blueberries or raspberries on a cocktail pick and a mint sprig if desired.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh fizz and vibrant cotton candy flavor.
Notes
Use dry or brut champagne to avoid overly sweet cocktails. Chill glasses and champagne well to keep bubbles lively and slow cotton candy dissolving. Pour champagne slowly to control fizz and prevent overflow. Serve immediately after preparation for best experience. Avoid stirring the drink.
