Notes
For a kid-friendly version, replace alcohol with blue raspberry syrup and extra lemonade.
Always use a clean, BPA-free rubber ducky marked food-safe—just for floating, not for nibbling!
Want longer-lasting “bubbles”? Use stabilized whipped cream or whipped topping.
Make the base cocktail up to 1 day in advance. Add soda, whipped cream, and ducky just before serving for best fizz and presentation.
Crushed ice works best for a slushy, chilled texture and bathwater effect.
