To Prep: Fill a small bowl with vanilla frosting and a second small bowl with sprinkles.
Dip the rim of each champagne flute in vanilla frosting, so that about 1/4" or 1/2" is coated.
Next, dip the frosting-coated glass into a bowl of sugar sprinkles, turning gently so the sprinkles stick to the frosting.
Slowly pour the sparkling cider into the prepared glasses, leaving about an inch of headspace.
Top with cotton candy and enjoy!

Prep Tips:

Sparkling Cider - You can use any type of fizzy non-alcoholic beverage for this recipe. We used "sparkling blush" but you could use sparkling cider, sparkling grape juice, etc. You could even use ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. This could also be done with sparkling wine for the grown-ups!

Cotton Candy - We had fun adding cotton candy directly to the drink, as it dissolves quickly and creates a fun fizzy effect. The cotton candy also adds a sweet flavor to the tart cider. You can also place the cotton candy on top of the glass, without touching the liquid, so it looks pretty before serving.
