Martinis!

Pop Rocks Cocktail

Rim the top with a lime wedge. Pour a package of cherry-flavored Pop Rocks onto a paper plate. Dip the lime-rimmed cocktail glass into the cherry Pop Rocks, coating the entire rim of the glass. Set the cocktail glass aside.

Add ice and two and half ounces of cranberry vodka to a shaker. Shake the mixture to chill the vodka. Strain the mix and pour into the glass. Slowly pour half an ounce of Blue Curacao into the middle of the glass. If you pour the Blue Curacao carefully, it will settle and twill look festive with different layers of color. Squeeze the rest of the lime juice into the drink and serve.

Cotton Candy Martini

8 ounces of freezing Smirnoff vodka
1 tablespoon of cola
1 teaspoon of Grenadine
A chunk of cotton candy (about 2" x 2")
2 small chunks of cotton candy for garnish
Vanilla Cocktail Candy rim sugar
The mix

Pour all of your ingredients into a martini shaker 1/2 of cracked ice
Drop in the chunk of cotton candy...it will dissolve
Lid the shaker and shake like mad for a full minute
Strain your delicious martini into 2 chilly, sugar rimmed martini glasses
Float a piece of cotton on each cocktail
Enjoy!

Bazooka Bubblegum Cocktail

16 pieces bubblegum, preferably Double Bubble, cut in half
2 cups (16 ounces) vodka
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) freshly squeezed lemon juice (from ½ lemon)
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) freshly squeezed lime juice (from ½ lime)
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) simple syrup
1 cup ice

In large airtight container, combine bubblegum and vodka. Seal and allow to infuse, stirring every 6 hours, for 24 hours. Pour vodka through fine mesh strainer, discarding bubble gum.
