This Candypants Cocktail tastes like summer in a glass. We’ve yet to come across someone who doesn’t enjoy this cocktail. If fact, if you remove the alcohol and replace with lemonade it makes a perfect summers drink for your kids!
The Candypants is cool, refreshing drink and is bursting with summer flavours. We first discovered the Candy Pants Cocktail when we visited an independent cocktail bar in Northumberland. In fact, we enjoyed it so much we decided to recreate it at home. We made this cocktail a little more home friendly.

FAQs
Is there a way to mellow the sweetness?
If itโs a touch too sweet for you, try reducing the raspberry syrup to 15 ml or use unsweetened cranberry juiceโboth help balance the sugar without scrubbing out the flavour.
Can I make this as a mocktail?
Absolutely! Just swap the vodka for extra lemonade and it becomes a fruity mocktail thatโs perfect for all ages – summer fun without the alcohol.
