Ingredients

Scale

Base Juices

  • 1/4 cup strawberry lemonade
  • 1/4 cup tropical fruit punch
  • 1/4 cup orange juice (no pulp)

Syrups & Extras

  • 1 tbsp mango syrup or peach syrup (optional, for extra candy kick)
  • 1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk (optional, for a creamy Starburst swirl)

Fizzy Addition

  • Splash of lemon-lime soda or sparkling water

Other

  • Ice cubes
  • Edible glitter or neon food coloring (optional for visual drip effect)
  • Garnish: mini skewers of Starburst candies, a sugar rim, or a colorful rock candy stick

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Rim the edge of a tall glass by dipping it in lemon juice and then into colored sugar or crushed candy to create a sweet, decorative edge. Optionally, drip sweetened condensed milk tinted with neon pink or orange down the inside of the glass to achieve a colorful candy drip effect that enhances presentation.
  2. Mix the Mocktail: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine strawberry lemonade, tropical fruit punch, orange juice, and mango syrup if using. Shake gently but thoroughly to chill the mixture and blend the flavors evenly.
  3. Pour & Fizz: Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice cubes and pour the chilled juice mixture into it. Top off with a splash of lemon-lime soda or sparkling water to add a refreshing fizzy finish to the drink.
  4. Garnish & Serve: Add mini skewers of Starburst candies, a colorful rock candy stick, or a decorative straw for garnish. Optional additions like edible glitter or a drop of pink food coloring can intensify the color and add a fun sparkle to the mocktail, making it visually captivating and ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • For a creamier variation, add 1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk to the mocktail or use it to create a colorful drip inside the glass.
  • Use neon food coloring sparingly to avoid overpowering the natural fruit flavors.
  • This mocktail is best served immediately to maintain the fizz and fresh fruit flavors.
  • Adjust the sweetness by altering the amount of mango syrup or switching to peach syrup.
  • Can be made vegan by omitting sweetened condensed milk or substituting with a plant-based condensed milk alternative.
