Some drinks show up with glitter in their step, and the Copycat Firework Fizz Recipe does just that. Originally spotted at Terralina Crafted Italian in Disney Springs, this limited-time summer cocktail made waves with its fizzy finish, fruit-forward flair, and subtle boozy punch. It was built for celebration, and after just one sip, we knew it needed a permanent place in our summer drink rotation.
We’ve reverse-engineered the recipe so you can bring that Disney-style sparkle straight to your glass. With citrusy rum, crisp gin, cranberry tang, and a bubbly prosecco topper, this cocktail comes together fast but leaves a lasting impression. No fireworks show required, just ice, a shaker, and a thirst for something fizzy and fun.

How to make the Copycat Firework Fizz Recipe
What makes the Copycat Firework Fizz Recipe so craveable? It’s that perfect blend of sweet, sour, and sparkle. You shake up the base, rum, gin, triple sec, cranberry, and sweet-and-sour mix, then crown it all with prosecco for a vibrant finish.
The result is a glass full of ruby-pink bubbles with just enough tartness to keep things refreshing. It’s festive, fast, and almost too easy to drink.

What to serve with the dish
The Copycat Firework Fizz Recipe plays well with summer classics and heat-forward dishes.
Top match: Our Calabrian Pepper Pimento Burger. That spicy-salty richness pairs beautifully with the cocktail’s fruity fizz.
Appetizers: Think crispy halloumi skewers, spicy shrimp tacos, or garlic bread with pepper jelly.
Desserts: Keep it light—berry pavlova, lemon bars, or a slice of watermelon sorbet cake.
It’s a versatile cocktail that lifts whatever it’s paired with—food, fireworks, or poolside playlists.
Ingredient substitutes
Missing a few ingredients? No need to dash to the liquor store. Here’s how to adapt:
| Ingredient | Substitute | Flavor Note |
|---|---|---|
| Light rum | Vodka or silver tequila | Vodka keeps it smooth, tequila adds zing |
| Gin | More rum or elderflower liqueur | Elderflower adds floral lift |
| Triple sec | Orange juice + zest or Cointreau | Brighter citrus, a little sweeter |
| Sweet-and-sour mix | Lemon juice + simple syrup | Sharper, fresher flavor |
| Cranberry juice | Pomegranate juice | Richer, deeper red |
| Prosecco | Cava or sparkling apple juice | Cava = same fizz, apple juice = mocktail version |
