When Candy Met Cognac: The Frozen Drink That Started It All
Some recipes are planned. Others sneak into your life, just like this Pink Whitney Hennessy Starburst Slush did for me.

That wild experiment unlocked something big: a Pink Whitney Hennessy Starburst Slush that tastes like pure summer celebration. I added lemon juice, balanced the sweetness, and froze the syrup into cubes. That’s when the drink went from “Whoa!” to “Where has this been all my life?”
