Ingredients
For the lemon-lime mix:
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup lemon juice
- ½ cup lime juice
For the shots:
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar
- Pinch of powdered pink food dye
- ½ cup Vanilla vodka
- ½ cup watermelon sourz
- ½ cup lemon-lime mix
- 6 pink starburst
Instructions
- All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
- In a small pot over high heat, add the water and sugar.
- Stir and mix constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved (this may happen before it even reaches a boil).
- Remove the pot from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. You can speed up this process by transferring the sugar water to a safe container and putting it in the fridge.
- Once the sugar water has cooled to room temperature or colder, transfer it to a glass jar or other airtight container and add the lemon juice and lime juice.
- Make sure the lid is on properly and shake to incorporate the juice and sugar water. Place in the fridge until needed.
- To assemble the shots, first mix together the sugar and food dye until the sugar has been colored a pleasant pink shade.
- Put the colored sugar on a small plate and set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker, add a few ice cubes along with the vodka, watermelon sourz, and lemon-lime mix. Place the lid firmly on and shake vigorously for a minute to mix.
- Dip the rims of your shot glasses in the lemon-lime mix then into the dyed sugar to coat the edges.
- Pour the liquor from the cocktail mixer into the shot glasses (trying not to ruin the sugar).
- Stick an unwrapped pink starburst on the rim, serve, and enjoy!
