Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Baking soda
- 3 tablespoons Citric acid
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Flavor extract (e.g., lemon, orange, or mint)
- 3 drops Edible food coloring (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, and powdered sugar. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the flavor extract and optional food coloring with the water. Stir until blended.
Step 3
Slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, one drop at a time, stirring continuously to avoid a premature fizzing reaction. The mixture should have the texture of damp sand and hold its shape when pressed together.
Step 4
Using your hands or a silicone mold, pack the mixture tightly into small spheres or fun shapes. If you’re molding by hand, aim for approximately 1-inch diameter portions.
Step 5
Place the shaped cocktail bombs on a parchment-lined tray and allow them to dry at room temperature for 12-24 hours, until completely hardened.
Step 6
Once dry, store the cocktail bombs in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Step 7
To use, drop one cocktail bomb into a glass of soda water, sparkling wine, or your cocktail of choice. Watch it fizz and dissolve, releasing a burst of flavor!
