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.
