Instructions
Created by a Binghamton University student one weekend. This drink delivers a strong Sweet and Sour and fruity taste, somewhat resembling the flavor of Sour patch kids. The flavor of the Smirnoff is easily masked by the other ingredients, so using a higher quality Vodka is not really necessary. Be careful, this drink is potent but doesn't taste very alcoholic, making it possible to lose track of how many you've had.Combine Vodka, Blue Curacao, Grenadine, Sweet and Sour Mix, and Juice from Lime Juice into a shaker filled with ice. Shake ingredients thoroughly and pour drink and as much ice as desired into a cocktail glass. Enjoy! If you like more Sour, you can add additional Lime Juice.
About Sour Patch Kid
The Sour Patch Kid cocktail is a vibrant and playful drink that draws inspiration from the tangy and sweet flavors of the popular candy it's named after. With its eye-catching blue and red hues, this cocktail is as visually striking as it is flavorful. The combination of vodka and blue curaçao provides a smooth and citrusy base, while the grenadine syrup adds a layer of sweetness and a pop of color. The sweet and sour mix ties everything together, balancing the drink with its tangy and refreshing profile. A wedge of lime garnishes the cocktail, adding a hint of zesty freshness and enhancing the overall citrus notes.
The history of the Sour Patch Kid cocktail is not extensively documented, but it's likely a modern creation, born from the trend of crafting cocktails inspired by nostalgic candies and flavors. Mixologists often experiment with such themes to evoke a sense of fun and whimsy, appealing to those who enjoy both the taste and the playful presentation. This cocktail embodies the spirit of innovation and creativity in the world of mixology, offering a delightful experience for those looking to indulge in a drink that tantalizes the taste buds and captures the essence of a beloved childhood treat.
This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!
Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
