What’s a county fair without a cone of cotton candy? This wispy wonder has been delighting folks of all ages since the early 1900s. But that doesn’t mean you have to wait till a fall festival comes to your town to enjoy this treat. Indeed, there’s now a fun martini variation that draws inspiration from this airy confection!
Please don’t forget to add a little CBD oil to this sugary drink. Just a drizzle of Tribe CBD oil is enough to quell even the most severe sugar rush.
CBD Cotton Candy Martini Recipe
Ironically, the man most people credit with inventing cotton candy was one of the 19th century’s most famous dentists. Historians claim Dr. William J. Morrison created the first cotton candy machine in the 1890s. Along with a business associate named John C. Wharton, Dr. Morrison helped popularize cotton candy at 1904’s St. Louis World Fair.
Although cotton candy will increase your risk for cavities, many people claim it isn’t the worst treat on earth. And, if you just look at the numbers, these foodie fans may have a point.
For starters, cotton candy has zero saturated or trans fats. Also, a standard cotton candy cone has roughly 30 grams of sugar. While that’s far from ideal, it’s also way less than most candy bars and sodas.
So, even though cotton candy will never be a superfood, it may be a “lighter” alternative. Of course, for an even healthier snacking alternative, we’d recommend checking out Tribe’s all-natural CBD gummies!

Do you need a hint? Well, remember that Dr. Morrison was a dentist. What do most dentists tell us to do every time we get a cleaning?
If you guessed “floss,” then you’re close enough! The first name for cotton candy was “fairy floss.”
By the way, the most popular color for cotton candy remains pink, but blue is a close second. If you’d like to swap out the colors in your cotton candy martini, you could easily experiment with alternative ingredients or food coloring.
