🍬 Revenge Of The Nerds – A Candy-Infused Party Explosion! 💣🍭
Get ready for a sugary, boozy explosion with the Revenge of the Nerds cocktail! This vibrant, colorful drink is candy-infused and packed with pop, bringing a playful twist to your party. With two kinds of Nerds-infused vodka, Hawaiian Punch, and some extra Nerds candy for garnish, this is the ultimate drink to bring fun, flavor, and a sugar rush to your next celebration!
What You’ll Need:
Red Nerds-infused vodka
Yellow Nerds-infused vodka
Hawaiian Punch (any flavor you prefer, but fruit punch works great!)
Lemonade
Nerds candy (for garnish – both red and yellow work beautifully)
How to Make:
1. Prepare the Nerds-Infused Vodka:
To create your Nerds-infused vodka, you’ll need to start a little ahead of time. For Red Nerds-infused vodka, take a bottle of vodka and fill it with Red Nerds candy (about half a bag should do). For Yellow Nerds-infused vodka, do the same with Yellow Nerds.
Let the candy dissolve into the vodka for about 24 hours, shaking the bottles every few hours to speed up the process. The vodka will take on a bright, vibrant color and sweet candy flavor.
2. Mix the Cocktail Base:
In a shaker, combine the following:
1 oz Red Nerds-infused vodka
1 oz Yellow Nerds-infused vodka
2 oz Hawaiian Punch
2 oz Lemonade
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds until everything is well combined and chilled.
3. Prepare Your Glass:
Grab a highball glass or a fun, colorful glass to serve this boozy treat in.
Garnish the rim of the glass with Nerds candy by lightly moistening the rim with a bit of lemonade or Hawaiian Punch and rolling it in a plate of Nerds.
4. Pour and Serve:
Strain the mixed cocktail into the prepared glass filled with ice.
For extra visual impact, you can add a little more Hawaiian Punch or lemonade to make the drink appear layered or give it a fun gradient effect.
5. Garnish:
For the finishing touch, garnish your drink with a generous handful of Nerds candy (either red or yellow, depending on your mood!).
You can also toss in a slice of lemon or a maraschino cherry for a pop of extra color.
