Fizzypop
🥄Fizzypop is a bright blue, bubblegum-sweet long drink named after the Swedish sweet of the same name. Bubblegum syrup and blue curaçao supply the colour and the sugar, lemon juice keeps it from turning cloying, and lemon-lime soda makes the glass easy to drink. In Sweden it is best known from the Pinchos menu.
The drink takes its name from the Swedish sweet Fizzypop, and in Sweden it is mainly associated with the restaurant chain Pinchos, where it appears on the menu. The restaurant build is usually based on Sourz Raspberry with bubblegum syrup and a float of blue curaçao. The home version that spread through Swedish drinks groups swaps the raspberry liqueur for vodka and adds lemon juice, giving a drier drink that carries more syrup. Because the sweetness comes from syrup and liqueur rather than the spirit, Fizzypop works just as well without alcohol: leave out the vodka and curaçao, keep the bubblegum syrup, lemon and soda, and add a drop of blue colouring if you want to keep the look.

- Stir gently until the syrup has dissolved.
- Top with lemon-lime soda and give it one more turn so the carbonation survives.
