Step 1: Prep Your Glasses

If you want to sugar rim your shot glasses, rub a lemon wedge around the rim and dip the glasses into a shallow plate of sugar. This adds a little extra sparkle and sweetness.

Step 2: Assemble Your Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, pour in the black raspberry liqueur, blue curaçao, citrus vodka, and (if desired) a splash of sour mix.

Step 3: Shake It Up

Add a generous amount of ice to the shaker. Seal it tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. You want the drink to be icy cold and well-mixed.

Step 4: Strain and Pour

Strain the mixture into prepared shot glasses. Watch the colors swirl into a deep, mesmerizing shade that looks like a midnight storm.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Garnish each shot with a lemon twist, or drop a tiny glow stick stirrer into the glass for a glowing, party-ready presentation. Serve immediately while chilled.
