What's better than a good drink for a friday night party? A good drink that gives you a burst of energy while you're getting drunk. What's better than that? An energy cocktail that doesn't taste like cough syrup (AKA Red Bull). This drink combines the great taste of Thinkgeek's famous Energy Soda with alcohol and cotton candy to creat an absolutely scrumptious cocktail.

For this recipe you need the following:
One Martini Glass
I initially made this drink as a double in a regular glass, but a martini glass looks prettier and you can drink it more quickly without the drink getting warm, which is preferrable.
One bottle of Bawls Energy Soda
You can buy the can if you'd like, and its good for making this drink in large quantities, otherwise the bottle is preferable because it is resealable if you do it right. Bawls can be purchased at Thinkgeek.com or it is available at Super Targets and various gas stations like Speedway, some 7-11's, and Sheetz, to name a few. I would not reccomend making this drink with anything but the original or sugar free flavors. The Bawls needs to be cold since there is no ice in this drink.
One Shot of Vodka
Vodka can be added to taste. If you like a stronger drink two shots still tastes good, but more than that and the delicate flavor of the drink is lost. I would recommend a smoother vodka for this. I've made it with top-shelf, mid, and bottom, and at the bottom it was rough. Again, since this drink is not served on the rocks I would recommend chilling the vodka, maybe even freezing it.
One 'Fistfull' of Cotton Candy
Again, you can alter this to taste. When I made a double for a friend in a 20 oz. cup I filled the entire cup with cotton candy, and I was told that it was great. The flavor is also optional, but I think it tastes best with plain cotton candy instead of fruit flavors.

Just saying.
the 's is possessive.
If people came to my house to have "nanas pie" its not Travis' Famous Pie, because people eat it at my house. Its still Nana's Famous Pie... because its nana's pie.
Great instructable btw... but I don't want people getting the wrong idea :P
If somebody asked me where to buy Bawls I would probably say ThinkGeek, first and foremost. That isn't to say I haven't also bought it in Target and maybe a CVS from time to time. I think that due to their "Caffeine & Edibles" section, ThinkGeek is the place I think of for Bawls and Jolt. Unfortunately I live in the UK, so I'm stuffed for the TG hits I crave so bad.
I think the fact this cocktail has cotton candy and energy soda in it is a grade A FTW. Now you make me wanna come back to America again!
sorry I am extremely immature.....
BAHAHHAHA
Perfect timing by the way, my 21st birthday is tomorrow. I'm not usually a drinker, but this looks crazy good. It makes me feel a bit less sad that I missed 7-11's "SnoBawls" promotion so many years back (bawls slushie omg!)
Bawls Slushie.... xD
your first/final picture is very nice.
