What is in our Firecracker Sparkler?
- Sprite
- Fun Flavored Popsicles
- Licorice
How do you make one?
A fun straw was totally needed to accessorize our New Year’s drink. We used a stick of licorice as a straw because JDaniel loves red licorice. A fun twisty straw or sparkly straw from a party store might be fun to use in the drink too.
This New Year’s drink for kids isn’t super fancy. It contains items you could easily find in any grocery. My son loved just loved. I bet if you a celebrating at noon on New Year’s Eve or just before bedtime your children will love this drink or a variation of it too.

Another fun twist might be Plum Organics makes a licorice style straw, but it’s made from real fruit. It’s double sided with a hole just perfect for drinking (they suggest drinking it with milk). I bought a ton of them when I found them on discount for 99 cents a box 🙂

Our New Year’s parties are very kid-friendly so I’m happy to try this. And we did get a bag of licorice for Christmas to use!
Leovi says

Popsicles as ice cubes? Licorice as a straw? This is great!

Looks lovely – I love the idea of a special drink for New Year’s Eve. Perhaps I challenge daughter to make up one 🙂
Kristen Hewitt says
Another greatidea! I’m not a huge soda person though so would sparkling water work?
Big City Mom says

I love this! Dh and I were discussing what to do for New Year’s Eve for our 5 kids. I’m pinning this on my Entertaining board.
