Preparation
- Make the cotton candy simple syrup: Place the cotton candy, water, and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces to a syrup consistency, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Make the lemonade: Pour the cotton candy simple syrup into a carafe. Add the water, lemon juice, and Cotton Candy Flavored 5-Hour Energy® Shot. Stir to combine.
- Fill 2 large glasses with ice. Pour the lemonade into the prepared cups, leaving 2 inches of headspace at the top of each (remaining lemonade may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour). Pour 2 tablespoons of sparkling water into each glass, and top each with 1 tablespoon cranberry juice. Garnish each with cotton candy.
- Enjoy!
