A garnish of candy punches up a cocktail, making it sweeter, more colorful, and overall more Vegas. The Sugar Factory’s Lollipop Passion is served in a signature goblet. It’s blended with a mix of melon, coconut, and pineapple. For a splashy look, the drink is garnished with a lollipop. The cocktail can be replicated for off-site events, as can a list of candy-themed cocktails that would work as an accompaniment or alternative to a candy buffet.
