Ingredients:

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

💙 1 oz blue raspberry vodka (or blue raspberry liqueur like UV Blue)
🍋 ½ oz lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
🍬 ½ oz simple syrup or sour mix, to balance the tartness
🧊 Ice – for shaking
💦 Splash of lemon-lime soda (optional, for fizz)
🧂 Optional rim: Blue sanding sugar or Tajín for contrast
🍭 Optional garnish: Mini rock candy stick, raspberry, or candy ring

Preparation:

Step 1: Prepare the shot glass
Chill the shot glass in the freezer or fill with ice water to cool. If rimming with blue sugar, dip the rim in lemon juice and roll in blue sanding sugar.

Step 2: Fill your shaker
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine:

1 oz blue raspberry vodka
½ oz lemon juice
½ oz simple syrup (or sour mix for extra tang)

Step 3: Shake it like a bombshell
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to chill and mix.

Step 4: Strain and pour
Discard the ice water from the shot glass. Strain the mixture into the glass.

Step 5: Optional splash & garnish
Top with a splash of lemon-lime soda for fizz. Garnish with a raspberry, candy, or neon straw if desired.

Variation:

🧉 Frozen Bombshell: Blend ingredients with crushed ice for a slushy, bold blue treat.
🥥 Tropical Razz: Add ¼ oz coconut rum for a tropical twist.
🥂 Bombshell Martini: Multiply ingredients by 3 and serve in a chilled martini glass.
🧃 Mocktail Version: Use blue raspberry syrup, lemon juice, and Sprite or lemonade instead of vodka.
🔥 Layered Bombshell: Pour grenadine first, then layer the shaken mix on top for a two-tone effect.
🍬 Candy Explosion: Drop a sour candy into each shot before serving.

COOKING Note:

These shots are easy to master, but a few tricks will keep them stunning:

Use clear blue raspberry vodka or liqueur for the best color.
Shake well with ice for a frothy, chilled texture.
Balance sweetness with fresh lemon or lime juice—tartness prevents it from being too sugary.
Want more pop? Add edible glitter or shimmer dust to the mix.
If prepping in advance, store the base mix chilled and shake with ice just before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

🍾 Serve in shot flights alongside other colorful shooters like Lemon Drop or Strawberry Shortcake
🎯 Pair with salty snacks like pretzels or spicy nuts to offset the sweetness
🧁 Offer as a dessert shot with whipped cream or cotton candy
💖 Great for gender reveals, neon parties, or prom-themed cocktails
🔹 Add to charcuterie cocktail boards with fruit skewers, candies, and syringes for fun shots

Tips:

💡 Use crushed ice for a frostier look and better dilution.
💙 Want more berry flavor? Add a dash of blue raspberry snow cone syrup.
🔥 For a strong kick, use 1½ oz vodka and skip the soda.
🍹 For a bubbly, lighter version, top with tonic, club soda, or Sprite.
🥳 Create a “shot bar” station with blue razz, cherry bombs, and lemon drops for guests to choose from.
