BFG’s Frobscottle Recipe{Kid & Adult recipes}
Happy Friday y’all!
Not only is this a holiday weekend, but Disney’s new movie, The BFG, is hitting theaters!
I’m not going to share the whole movie or synopsis, but you can read our thoughts and takeaways from The BFG here.
The boys read the bookand were excited (mostly Zayd’n) to see the movie.
Zayd’n came up with the idea of recreating Frobscottle, like in the movie.
So after a little research and perusing through several of Roald Dahl’s recipe books (recipes created from his books), we came up with some fresh ways to make Frobscottle.
According to the book (page 64), Sophia asks the BFG for water. He tells her giants only drink Frobscottle. “Frobscottle is sweet and jumbly!”
How to make a Frobscottle
The book describes Frobscottle as a pale green liquid, with the bubbles traveling to the bottom of the glass.
It also has a pale green frothy fizz forming at the bottom. “It was sweet and refreshing. It tastes of vanilla and cream, with just the faintest trace of raspberries on the edge of the flavour.”
And once you have a sweet taste of Frobscottle, then comes the whizzpoppers. “Whizzpoping is a sign of happiness. It is music to our ears!”
So what is a Whizzpopper or Whizzpopping?
It’s a burp that comes out the other end ( a fart) with an enormous green explosion. Yeah, the kids will love that one. Unfortunately, our Frobscottle recipe will not recreate whizzpopping.
But if you have kids, especially boys, their imagination will do the rest!

Each one is pretty different. So try them all and come back and let us know your thoughts.
And, of course, we had to add one just for the adults.
The Frobscottle (Kid Friendly)
Ingredients:
- 2 scoops of vanilla ice-cream
- 1 ounce of strawberry syrup
- 3 ounces of sour apple soda
Directions:
- In a dessert glass or small bowl, add one ounce of strawberry syrup and three ounces of Sour Apple Soda. Stir the mixture to combine.
- Add two scoops of vanilla ice cream to the strawberry and sour apple mixture.
- Serve.
So, that’s drink #1
Here’s our second option:
Frobscottle Recipe {with fizz option and without ice cream}
Ingredients:
- 1- 8 oz cup of club soda or lemonade
- 1 drop of vanilla extract
- 1/2 pack of a green Kool-aid mix (OR use 5-6 drops of food coloring)
- Raspberry Simple Syrup {get the recipe here}
- 1/2 package of Poprocks
Directions:
- Fill acup with lemonade or club soda.
- Stir in the green kool-aid mix (or drop in food coloring)
- Add vanilla extract.
- Stir in Simply Syrup mixture.
- Stir until you get the desired color.
- When the kids are ready to drink this BFG concoction, drop in a 1/2 package of pop rocks.
- Serve.
If you want to make a bigger batch of this (for a party, or several kids, then multiply the recipe per child).
Another way to get this color green is to buy green apple soda at your local grocery store.
If you decide to go this route, mix the green apple soda with the raspberry simple syrup, vanilla extract, and pop rocks.
You may have to drop a little of the green kool-aid mix or food coloring to get the right color green.
