Looking for a cocktail that’s as sweet and vibrant as a candy store window?

Our Jelly Bean Cocktail brings a pop of colour, a splash of berry flavour, and a playful vibe that’s perfect for spring parties, Easter brunch, or just because you feel like sipping something fun.

It’s quick to make, ridiculously cute, and yes – there are actual jelly beans involved.

Tips & Tricks:

• Frozen Jelly Bean Ice Cubes: Freeze jelly beans into ice cubes for a fun look!
• Layer It: For a gradient effect, pour Blue Curacao first, then slowly add Sprite over the back of a spoon.
• Jazz Up the Rim: Dip the glass rim in lemon juice and then in coloured sugar or crushed jelly beans for extra flair.
• Make it in Batches: Hosting a party? Multiply the ingredients by the number of guests and mix in a pitcher. Add the Sprite just before serving.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Mixed Berry Vodka: Any berry-flavoured vodka will work here—blueberry, raspberry, or even a fruity infused vodka of your own.
• Blue Curacao: This citrus liqueur adds colour and flavour. You can substitute with a blue raspberry liqueur, or a splash of orange liqueur + a drop of blue food coloring in a pinch.
• Sprite: Swap with lemon-lime soda, sparkling water + simple syrup, or a flavoured soda like cherry Sprite for a different twist.
• Jelly Beans: Optional, but they’re what makes this cocktail extra fun. Feel free to use your favorite flavours or even a specific colour theme for events.

Mocktail Version:

No alcohol? No problem! You can still enjoy all the colour and flavour without the booze.

To make a mocktail:

• Skip the vodka and Blue Curacao.
• Use a mix of blue sports drink or blue raspberry lemonade and mixed berry juice or a berry syrup.
• Top with Sprite or any lemon-lime soda.
• Stir, garnish with jelly beans, and serve!

Perfect for kids, baby showers, or anyone skipping the alcohol.
