Ingredients
-
1 oz vanilla vodka
-
1 oz Watermelon Pucker (or substitute Strawberry Schnapps)
-
1 oz sweet & sour mix
-
½ oz whipped cream vodka (optional, for creamier flavor)
-
Ice
-
Pink sugar (for rimming, optional)
-
Mini pink Starburst (for garnish, optional)
Optional Add-ins:
-
Splash of lemon-lime soda (for a fizzy twist)

½ oz grenadine (for extra sweetness and deeper pink color)
-
Dash of heavy cream or half-and-half (for ultra creamy finish)

A drop of red food coloring for bolder hue
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the shot glasses
If desired, rim the edge of your shot glasses with pink sugar. To do this, moisten the rims with a lemon or lime wedge, then dip into a plate of pink sanding sugar. Chill the glasses in the freezer while you make the drink.
Step 2: Add ingredients to shaker
In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 oz vanilla vodka, 1 oz Watermelon Pucker (or Strawberry Schnapps), 1 oz sweet & sour mix, and ½ oz whipped cream vodka if using. Add ice.
Step 3: Shake until frosty
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the shaker is frosty and the mix is chilled.
Step 4: Strain into shot glasses
Strain the mixture evenly into your prepared shot glasses. This recipe makes about 2 standard shots, depending on your glass size.
Step 5: Garnish like candy couture
Optionally, place a mini pink Starburst on a cocktail pick or directly on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
-
Watermelon Pucker creates a candy-like sweetness and bright pink color—Strawberry Schnapps gives a slightly different twist but still delivers.
-
Whipped cream vodka is optional but makes the shot taste more like candy and adds a creamy texture.
-
For the perfect chill, shake with lots of ice and serve immediately after straining.
-
Rimming the glass with pink sugar adds sweetness and flair, especially for themed parties or events.
-
Mini pink Starburst garnishes are the cherry on top—but even without, this shot is a stunner.
