Instructions
Step 1: Chill your shot glasses
Pop your shot glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes before serving to get that icy-cold feel.
Step 2: Add candy
Drop 1–2 Swedish Fish candies into each shot glass. If you’re going all-out, sprinkle Nerds candy into the bottom for a colorful seabed effect.

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine:
-
½ oz vodka
-
½ oz blue curaçao
-
½ oz pineapple juice
-
(Optional) Splash of coconut rum
Step 4: Shake it like the ocean waves
Shake for 15 seconds until well-chilled and slightly frothy.
Step 5: Pour and fizz
Strain the mixture into your prepared shot glasses, then top with a splash of lemon-lime soda for a fun, fizzy finish
