A vibrant purple Color-Changing Cannabis Cocktail, a magical drink for cannabis edibles and Stoner Strategies enthusiasts

It wasn't until I attended the ever so boujee 19th Gathering of the Juggalos when I became addicted AF to mixing my vodka with cotton candy Faygo. It was what I used for nourishment for those amazing 3 days out in the middle of nowhere Ohio. Just before I headed out for the 20th Gathering of the Juggalos did I end up combining vanilla vodka with the cotton candy and I fucked around and pulled out the pink cotton candy ;) which to my dumb blonde surprise changed my drink from Faygo cotton candy blue to a lovely shade of Milenko purple when I stupidly hit my cup, knocking the pink cotton candy into my blue cotton candy Faygo drink. Who knew blue and pink made purple, except for maybe anyone who has completed kindergarten.

Recipe Essentials

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes

  • Servings: 2

  • Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 23 oz Faygo Cotton Candy soda

  • 2 oz Vanilla vodka

  • 200 mg Alcohol-free cannabis tincture (adjust for your preferred potency)

  • 1/2 cup Pink cotton candy (divided for garnish)

Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Chill: Place 2 glasses in the freezer for 15 minutes before mixing to ensure your cocktail stays crisp and refreshing.

  2. Ice: Fill each chilled glass with ice.

  3. Mix: Add a shot of vanilla vodka and your cannabis tincture to each glass.

  4. Pour: Fill each glass to the top with the cotton candy soda.

  5. Garnish: Add half of the pink cotton candy to the side of each glass.

  6. The Magic Trick: When you are ready to serve your cannabis edibles, drop the cotton candy into the drink. Watch as the colors combine to create a vibrant purple hue!

Pro-Tips for Success

  • The Stoner Strategies Secret: The key to a great cocktail is temperature. Chilling your glassware is a simple, professional touch that keeps your drink icy cold without diluting it too quickly with excess ice melt.

  • Potency Management: Because this edibles recipe is built around a liquid tincture, stir well after adding the tincture to the vodka. This ensures the potency is evenly distributed throughout the glass, making for a consistent experience.

  • Consistency: If you are hosting a group, you can prepare the glasses with vodka and tincture ahead of time. Keep the soda ice-cold and add the cotton candy right before you hand the drink to your guest for that dramatic color-changing effect.
