Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

For an extra fun touch, rim your shot glass with sugar. To do this, moisten the rim with a little bit of lemon juice or water and dip it into sugar. This adds an extra layer of sweetness and a decorative touch to the shot.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 oz of raspberry vodka, 1/2 oz of sour apple schnapps, 1/2 oz of triple sec, and 1/2 oz of cranberry juice. Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and combined.

Step 3: Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into your prepared shot glass, making sure not to disturb the sugared rim if you used one. This will create a fun and colorful shot that looks as good as it tastes.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

For a touch of citrus, garnish the shot with a lemon twist or a small piece of lemon peel. Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced, tart, and sweet flavor combination!
