intro


I dream up and experiment with cocktail recipes. Then I share my favorite every Monday. Give something a try if it sounds good to you. If you stick with me, every week will include a flavor adventure.

Candy Fairy

Whether you call it cotton candy or fairy floss, this sticky summer treat flavors a grown-up ‘jell-o’ style cocktail that is just as fun to eat.



Ingredients:

White grape juice
Sugar
Cotton Candy liqueur
Agar agar

Add ¾ cup whitegrape juice to a small sauce pot along with ½ tablespoon of agar agar flakes and 1 tablespoon sugar. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.  Remove from stove and allow to cool for about 1 minute while stirring. Add ¼ cup cotton candy liqueur and immediately pour into red wine glass. Place into refrigerator for at least 6 hours. Lightly sprinkle with clear decorators edible glitter just before serving.
