Ingredients

Scale

Starburst-Infused Alcohol

  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare Your Glasses: When ready to serve, fill each glass with ice to chill the cocktail properly.
  3. Add Infused Alcohol: Pour 2 ounces of the prepared Starburst-infused alcohol into each glass over the ice.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Serve each drink with a few pink Starburst candies on the side for an extra sweet touch and beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • The infused alcohol requires about 24 hours to properly dissolve the candies and develop flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon-lime soda depending on how strong or fizzy you prefer your cocktail.
  • Red food coloring is optional and only needed if you want a more vivid pink color.
  • Use clear rum as an alternative to vodka for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • Always enjoy alcoholic beverages responsibly and check legal drinking age in your area.
