Spiked Cotton Candy

Sugar & Cloth's Cotton Candy Recipe is an Adult Take on a Nostalgic Treat

— August 7, 2015 — Lifestyle
Following their cotton candy shooters, Sugar and Cloth released a cotton candy recipe for a boozy version of the classic carnival confection. The spiked cotton candy is sugar-free as well, so health-conscious grown-ups can enjoy the alcoholic element without worrying about the health factor.

If you want to try this cotton candy recipe at home, you will need a cotton candy maker first of all. You will also require floss sugar, although sugarless hard candies can also be melted down. Vodka and a sheet pan will be needed as well.

Once everything is prepped and spun, it will only have approximately 50% of the regular alcoholic content. This means you probably won't be getting drunk off of it.
Trend Themes
1. Spiked Confections - Companies can capitalize on this trend by creating spiked versions of nostalgic treats and offering them as a creative dessert or party option.
2. Healthy Alternatives - Entrepreneurs can explore this trend by developing health-conscious versions of alcoholic treats, providing a guilt-free option for adults who want to indulge.
3. DIY Mixology - Brands can tap into this trend by offering DIY kits that enable customers to create their own alcoholic treats at home, providing a fun and interactive experience.
Industry Implications
1. Alcoholic Beverages - The alcoholic beverage industry can adapt to this trend by incorporating unique, non-traditional ingredients and methods to create playful drink options for adults.
2. Party Supplies - The party supplies industry can capitalize on this trend by offering creative new ways to present and serve alcoholic treats, such as cotton candy machines or unique serving dishes.
3. DIY Kits - The DIY kit industry can expand into this trend by providing customers with all the necessary materials and tools to create their own unique alcoholic treats at home.
