Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ounces (59 milliliters) vodka
- 5 ounces (148 milliliters) soda water
- 1 stick rock candy
Garnish:
- Pop Rocks
Additional Ingredient:
- Ice
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant rim by gently brushing the cocktail glass edge with honey, creating a tacky surface that will securely hold the delicate Pop Rocks. Carefully dip the rimmed glass into a plate of colorful Pop Rocks, ensuring an even, complete coating without crushing the fragile candy crystals.
- Generously fill the prepared glass with ice cubes, creating a frosty foundation that will keep the cocktail refreshingly chilled and prevent quick dilution.
- Precisely pour 2 ounces of smooth vodka over the ice, allowing the spirit to cascade and intermingle with the frozen base.
- Gently top the vodka with crisp soda water, leaving a small margin at the top to prevent overflow and maintain the drink’s elegant presentation.
- Elegantly insert a rock candy stick into the cocktail, positioning it vertically like an artistic swizzle stick. As the candy gradually dissolves, it will infuse the drink with a subtle, sweet complexity, transforming the cocktail into a dynamic, evolving sensory experience.
Notes
- Choose honey for the best Pop Rocks rim adhesion, as it provides a stickier surface compared to other sweeteners.
- Handle Pop Rocks gently during rim coating to prevent crushing and maintain their signature crackling texture.
- Chill the glass thoroughly before preparation to keep the cocktail extra cold and enhance the sensory experience.
