National Cotton Candy Day | Cotton Candy Cocktail

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere! I love when people throw out that line to make an excuse for drinking during socially unacceptable drinking times. I say have a drink whenever you feel like it. It was clearly some lame-o who decided you can only have a cocktail during brunch, and during and after dinner. That’s why day drinking has the specific name it does. No one says “night drinking”.

I’m hereby giving you permission to have a cotton candy cocktail whenever the desire strikes, be it 10am, 2pm, 6pm, or even 1 o’clock in the morning. (Just make sure you are smart about when and how much, mmkay? Don’t make me look like an idiot.)

So. Cotton candy. Cocktails. Combinations of awesome. Drink up and enjoy.

Happy National Cotton Candy Day!
