Pop Rocks Rimmed Cocktails
Add a little firecracker spark to your cocktails (or mocktails for the kids) this summer! How? It’s easy! POP ROCKS! I used to love this candy as a kid. They make a crackle sound when they hit your tongue and come in a variety of colors and flavors. This is a similar idea to the nonpareil rimmed cocktails I made for my birthday this year!
POP ROCK RIMMED COCKTAILS
1. Simply dampen the edges of your glass with lemon juice. If you have trouble with the pop rocks clumping or sticking, you can try dipping them in a thin layer of caramel (but only use a small amount).
2. Then dip the rims into a plate filled with the pop rocks of choice.We love the Tropical Blue color for a patriotic blue color that is perfect when paired with a cranberry cocktail for the 4th of July!
You can also simply drop the POP ROCKS into your cocktail for a festive FIZZLE!

Best. idea. ever. Definitely doing this for the 4th of July.
Looks delicious…would also make some cool Kool-Aid drinks for the kiddies! Thx for sharing!
What a fun idea. I am keeping this one for sure! Thanks for bringing this clever idea to my attention through your fun blog! :)
I am so doing this with strawberry lemonade for my kiddos for the 4th – thanks so much for the idea! (If you add one cup of pureed strawberries to your lemonade (1.5 qt) it will be red & festive.) Thanks again – love this!
What a fun idea! Love it. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea! I’m so linking to this:-)

this is absolutely awesome! I boasted about this on my FB page and WILL be making these as adult beverages and for the kiddos with lemonade and the kid-friendly drinks… sent it to my daughter in college, you know she’ll be making these for her friends! LOL!!!!
so doing this with 7up or sprite and red and blue kool-aid ice cubes!
So fun, Courtney! I did this for a Pop Star/ Rock Star Party and it was a huge hit with the girls at the party- so unexpected for your drink to pop! :))
use marshmallow puff- works like a charm!!
I saw this on a 4th of July roundup and just had to pin it. I hope you’ll share your best post of the week on my Friday Flash Blog Linky Party going on ALL weekend at The Jenny Evolution.
