Cotton Candy Champagne

Millie Pham

If you want a fun, fancy, and ridiculously easy cocktail, Cotton Candy Champagne is the ultimate party drink! Just drop some fluffy cotton candy into a glass, pour champagne over it, and watch the magic happen!

It’s sweet, bubbly, and perfect for celebrations.

Let’s make this happen in under a minute!

What You’ll Need

  • 4 oz champagne or prosecco (chilled)
  • 1 small handful of cotton candy (any color!)
  • 1 tsp sanding sugar (optional, for the rim)

Pro Tips

  1. Use dry champagne or prosecco! It balances the sweetness of the cotton candy.
  2. Wait to add the cotton candy! If you drop it in too soon, it melts before the fun even starts.
  3. Want extra sparkle? Rim the glass with sugar or edible glitter before pouring.
  4. Make it non-alcoholic! Use sparkling water, Sprite, or ginger ale instead.
  5. Go all out! Try using flavored cotton candy for a fun twist.

Tools You’ll Need

  • Champagne flute
  • Small plate for rimming (if using sugar)
  • Spoon for sprinkling sugar

Substitutions & Variations

  • No alcohol? Use sparkling grape juice or club soda.
  • Extra fruity? Add a splash of orange or berry juice.
  • Sweeter? Drizzle a little vanilla syrup into the glass before adding champagne.

Instructions

Step 1: Rim the Glass (Optional)

Dip the rim of your champagne flute into a little water, then coat it with sanding sugar.
