Happy holidays everyone! Life is getting a little hectic for all of us right now, but it's all all so fun for us this year with our little ones getting excited seeing all of the decorations and lights, baking cookies, santa (well not all of our kiddos are loving the big guy!), and having all of their extended family spending visiting.
I am super excited about my new Kailo Chic confetti cocktail shaker that Amy gave me as a Christmas present, and I couldn't wait to use it! With New Year's Eve on the horizon, I felt like we needed a super fun celebratory champagne cocktail to share with all of you today. To make this drink "super fun," I took some inspiration from the pink champagne cotton candy that I came across in the candy shop. Keep reading below for the recipe.

How pretty, righ?! At this point, it's the start of a French 75 cocktail (non traditional though, as I substituted vodka for gin).
I'm in LOVE with this shaker! As if I needed an excuse to shake up more cocktails, now I have this fun new toy to play with.
So enough suspense...here is the recipe you've been waiting for!
Ingredients
2 oz vodka
1 oz lemon juice
Champagne
Cotton candy
Directions
Fill your cocktail shaker with ice, add vodka and lemon, and shake until icy cold. Pour into a coupe style glass or a champagne flute. At this point, you are going to want to take your cotton candy and suspend it ABOVE your cocktail. You can use a long cocktail skewer through it or you can see in from our picture, we just used 2 pretty paper straws and sat the cotton candy on top of them. For a party, stop at this point, and place all of of your glasses on a serving tray or display table. When people arrive or when you plan to hand them all out, top them all with a pour of the champagne, and watch the cotton candy disappear into your drink leaving your cocktail sweetened and pink!
