Ingredients
Scale
Alcohol Infusion
- 8 pink Starburst candy, plus more for garnish
- 8 ounces vodka, or clear rum
Cocktail Mix
- 8 ounces orange juice
- 8 ounces strawberry-kiwi juice, or punch
- 8 to 12 ounces lemon-lime soda
- Red food coloring, optional
Instructions
- Create the Starburst-Infused Alcohol: Place 8 pink Starburst candies into a jar or container with a lid. Pour 8 ounces of vodka or clear rum over the candies, seal tightly, and allow the mixture to sit for about 24 hours, stirring or swirling occasionally to dissolve the candies and infuse the alcohol.
- Prepare Your Glasses: When ready to serve, fill each glass with ice to chill the cocktail properly.
- Add Infused Alcohol: Pour 2 ounces of the prepared Starburst-infused alcohol into each glass over the ice.
- Mix the Juices: Add 2 ounces of orange juice and 2 ounces of strawberry-kiwi juice (or punch) to each glass, balancing the fruity flavors with the infused alcohol.
- Top with Soda and Color: Top off each cocktail with lemon-lime soda (about 2 to 3 ounces depending on desired fizz and strength). For a more vibrant pink color, add a drop of red food coloring and stir gently to combine.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve each drink with a few pink Starburst candies on the side for an extra sweet touch and beautiful presentation.
Notes
- Allow the candy infusion to sit for at least 24 hours, but up to 48 hours for stronger flavor.
- The amount of lemon-lime soda can be adjusted to taste for more or less fizz.
- Use clear rum or vodka depending on your flavor preference.
- Red food coloring is optional and only needed for a more dramatic pink color.
- Keep the infused alcohol refrigerated if not used immediately, and consume within a few days for best flavor.
