How to Store Leftovers

FAQs About the Bubblegum Bottle Fizz Cocktail

Can I make it without alcohol?

Definitely! Just sub the vodka and Curaçao with bubblegum syrup and a splash of blue raspberry soda or juice. You’ll still get that signature color and flavor, minus the buzz.

Where do I buy bubble vodka?

Bubblegum-flavored vodka is carried by many big liquor brands and is often available online or in specialty stores. Brands like Three Olives or Pinnacle often carry it. Or try infusing your own with bubblegum candy!

Is it super sweet?

Yes—and that’s kind of the point! But you can easily dial back the sweetness by reducing the simple syrup or using diet Sprite.

Can I batch this for a party?

Absolutely. Multiply the base ingredients for your number of guests, mix in a pitcher, and store in the fridge. Pour individual servings over ice and top with Sprite and garnishes to serve.
