Method
 

Prepare Your Serving Glass
  1. Begin by filling your glass with ice. For the authentic McDonald's experience, use a clear glass to enjoy the visually appealing transformation of your drink.
Add the Cotton Candy
  1. Place a generous tuft of cotton candy on the ice. Press it down into the glass, but leave room for the Sprite. The amount of cotton candy is up to your sweet tooth—the more you add, the sweeter and more vibrant your drink will be.
Pour the Sprite
  1. Slowly pour the Sprite over the cotton candy. As the Sprite meets the cotton candy, it will begin to dissolve, creating a magical swirl of color and infusing the drink with a sweet cotton candy flavor. Pour until the glass is nearly complete or until the cotton candy has completely dissolved.
Stir and Enjoy
  1. Gently stir your Cotton Candy Sprite to ensure the flavor is evenly distributed throughout the drink. Now, take a sip, and let the fizzy, sweet delight whisk you to a world of flavor.
