Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water with 1 tablespoon of gelatin powder. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes so the gelatin can bloom (hydrate).
Step 2: Dissolve the Gelatin
Once bloomed, place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved and smooth, with no lumps remaining.
Step 3: Mix the Liquids
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of bubblegum vodka and 1 cup of pink lemonade until fully blended.
Step 4: Combine the Mixtures
Allow the gelatin mixture to cool slightly so it doesn’t evaporate the alcohol. Slowly pour the vodka and lemonade mixture into the saucepan, stirring continuously until everything is well incorporated.
Step 5: Prepare the Molds
Lightly coat silicone or cupcake molds with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 6: Fill and Insert Sticks
Pour the mixture into the molds, filling each about three-quarters full. Insert a lollipop stick or straw into the center of each mold.
Step 7: Chill Until Firm
Transfer the molds to the refrigerator and let them set for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
Step 8: Coat with Sugar
Once firm, carefully remove each vodka wand from the mold. In a shallow dish, mix together the granulated sugar with colored sugar or sprinkles. Roll each wand in the sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately for a fun, colorful party treat, or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.

Pro Tips – Frosted Bubblegum Vodka Wands
- Chill before mixing: Make sure your vodka and lemonade are well chilled before combining—this helps the wands set faster and taste extra refreshing.
- Cool the gelatin slightly: Let the gelatin mixture cool a bit before adding the alcohol to avoid reducing the vodka’s strength.
- Use silicone molds: They make unmolding much easier and give the wands a smooth, professional finish.
- Coat just before serving: Roll the wands in sugar or sprinkles right before serving so the coating stays crisp and doesn’t dissolve.
- Experiment with flavors: Try swapping bubblegum vodka for cotton candy, vanilla, or even fruity vodkas for fun variations.
