Ingredients
– 1 oz Vanilla Vodka
– 1 oz Sweet and Sour Mix
– 1 oz Watermelon Schnapps
– 1 oz Cranberry Juice
– Ice cubes (optional for chilling)
– Pink sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Start by chilling your shot glasses. You can place them in the freezer for a few minutes or simply fill them with ice water while you prepare the drink.
2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, sweet and sour mix, watermelon schnapps, and cranberry juice.
3. Add a handful of ice cubes for a crisp, chilled result. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds.
4. Pour out any ice water from the shot glasses, if used.
5. Strain the mixture into the prepared shot glasses.
6. For a sweet finish, dip the rim of each glass in water followed by pink sugar.
Notes
For the best results, serve the Pink Starburst Shot ultra-chilled. If you don’t have vanilla vodka, plain vodka with a dash of vanilla extract can work in a pinch. Likewise, you can try different schnapps flavors to put a twist on the original—like peach or strawberry.
