Aladdin Inspired Cocktails

Disney’s newest live action film, Aladdin crashes into theaters on May 22, 2019. And these fun and fruity Aladdin inspired cocktails are just what you need to celebrate the new re-imagined tale.

Aladdin Inspired Cocktails

I was not like most when the live-action Aladdin was announced – I was ecstatic! I have loved the animated tale since 1992 and have fond memories of seeing the film in the theater, singing the songs in middle school choir and watching it on VHS many times.

As the casting announcements were made, I followed closely. I knew Robin Williams’ role as Genie was going to be almost impossible to replace… And while I am still looking forward to the film, I have to admit I’m not a fan of Will Smith as Genie… So if you’re like me, you may need a cocktail or two to get past the big, blue Will Smith.

The Blue Genie

• 3oz Island Blue Pucker
• 1 Can Sprite or Lemon Lime Soda
• Blue Cotton Candy (or use recipe below for homemade!)

Homemade Blue Lemon Cotton Candy:

• ⅓ C Sugar
• 6-8 drops Blue Food Coloring
• 5-6 drops Lemon Extract

Mix all ingredients together with a fork, using the flat edge to crush any lumps until the sugar is mixed all the way through. Make the candy using your cotton candy machine’s instructions!

Directions:

• Add 2oz of Island Blue Pucker to two glasses, and top off with cold Sprite.
• Place a large piece of lemon cotton candy on top, and enjoy!
