Sparkling Watermelon Cotton Candy Drink
Get Ready for the Best Sparkling Watermelon Cotton Candy Drink Ever! πβ¨
Okay, quick question! Have you ever had one of those days where you just wanna sip something fun and feel like a kid again? Like, you know, when your biggest worry was whether youβd get the pink cotton candy at the fair? Well, I whipped up this crazy Sparkling Watermelon Cotton Candy Drink and OMG, itβs like summer in a glass!

Okay, Letβs Talk Ingredients
So, picture this: youβre wandering the grocery store, and you see a mountain of juicy watermelons. You grab one (or two, no judgment) and then you need some sparkling water. Seriously, itβs like the bubbly magic that makes it all come together! And donβt forget the vanilla extract (itβs the secret cozy vibe), and agave syrup for that sweet kick. Oh, and cotton candy! Like, how could you forget that? Itβs basically the crown on this drink.
β 2 cups fresh watermelon, cubed
β 1 cup sparkling water
β 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract (Alcohol-Free)
β 1 tablespoon agave syrup
β Cotton candy (for garnish, obviously)
β Ice cubes (because who doesnβt love cold drinks?)
So Hereβs Why I Make This Constantly
Alright, so hereβs the deal. One hot summer day, I was just chillinβ on my porch, trying to survive the heat with my kids running around like little tornadoes. I decided to experiment because why not? I had a watermelon just sitting there (it was guilt-tripping me, honestly). I threw everything into the blender, and let me tell you, it was like a flavor explosion! My kids were like, βMom, this is the best thing ever!β And I was like, βI know, right?!β Now we make it every time itβs hot outβor honestly, just whenever. Itβs like our familyβs fun little tradition now!

The One Trick That Changes Everything
Okay, listen up! The key here is STRAINING the watermelon juice. I know, I know, it sounds annoying, but trust me on this one. It makes the drink sooo much smoother! Youβll thank me when youβre not chewing your drink (ew). Just grab a fine mesh sieve and pour that blended goodness through it. Easy peasy, right?
Donβt Mess This Up (My Top Tips)
1. Donβt skip the ice! Seriously, it keeps it super refreshing.
2. Check your watermelon! Make sure itβs ripe; otherwise, youβll end up with a sad drink. Like, nobody wants that!
3. Cotton candy placement is key. Donβt just plop it in thereβlet it float on top for that Insta-worthy vibe!
How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)
So, hereβs the scoop. Best to drink this right after you make it. But if youβve got leftovers (which is kind of unlikely, letβs be real), just store the watermelon juice in the fridge without the sparkling water. When youβre ready to drink it again, add the bubbly and cotton candy fresh. Boom! Youβre back in business!
