Shade Cosmo Edible Glitter

Edible glitter is one of the hottest trends for decorating cocktails and other foods. Shade Cosmo's edible glitter comes in a beautiful pink hue that evokes the classic Cosmopolitan cocktail. It's made from safe, non-toxic ingredients and adds a striking shimmer to drinks.

Here are some tips for using Shade Cosmo edible glitter:

• Add a pinch directly to your cocktail and stir to distribute the glitter throughout.
• Wet the rim of your glass and dip into the glitter to coat it for a sparkly effect.
• Place a spoonful on top of foam or whipped cream as a pretty topping.
• Sprinkle over cupcakes, donuts, ice cream sundaes, and other desserts.

The glitter retains its vibrant color and won't dissolve quickly, so it will keep your drinks looking glamorous sip after sip. Just be sure to gently stir cocktails before drinking to redistribute the glitter.

Shade Cosmo Cocktail Rimming Sugar

For even more pop, use Shade Cosmo's coordinating pink cocktail rimming sugar. It's infused with natural color and lightly sweet to deliciously complement cocktails.

Rimming sugar adds a fun touch to drinks like margaritas and Cosmopolitans. Here are some tips for using it:

• Wet the outer rim of your glass with water, juice, or a wedge of citrus.
• Hold the glass upside down and dip the wet rim into the rimming sugar to coat it.
• Allow any excess sugar to drip off before turning your glass upright.
• Pour your cocktail into the rimmed glass and add ice.

The colored sugar will stay vibrant and provide a sweet crunch in every sip. For a coordinated look, use the rimming sugar and edible glitter together on the same drink.

Easy Shade Cocktails to Make

You can use Shade Cosmo products to add a pop of pink glitter or sheen to all sorts of cocktails like:

• Cosmopolitans - Wet the rim of a martini glass and coat with the rimming sugar. Add vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, and a pinch of edible glitter to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into the rimmed glass.
• Pink Lemonade Margaritas - Rim a glass with Shade Cosmo sugar. Combine tequila, lemonade, triple sec, and a spoonful of glitter in a shaker. Shake with ice and pour into the rimmed glass.
• Vodka Cranberry Coolers - Mix vodka, cranberry juice, lemon-lime soda, and a pinch of glitter in a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lemon wheel.
