Ingredients

These ingredients come together to recreate that delicious Pink Starburst candy flavor in liquid form:

🍓 1 oz strawberry-flavored vodka (the core fruity spirit)
🍋 ½ oz lemon juice (freshly squeezed for bright citrus zing)
💖 ½ oz triple sec or orange liqueur (adds subtle orange sweetness)
🥥 ¼ oz cream or coconut cream (for smooth texture and slight richness)
🍬 ½ oz simple syrup (adjust sweetness as desired)
🧊 Ice cubes (to chill and dilute slightly)
🍬 Pink sugar or sanding sugar (for rimming the shot glasses)
🍓 Small strawberry or candy piece (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1:
Prepare the shot glasses by moistening the rims with lemon juice, then dip them into pink sanding sugar to coat the edges with sparkling sweetness.

Step 2:
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes to chill your ingredients.

Step 3:
Add strawberry vodka, lemon juice, triple sec, cream, and simple syrup to the shaker.

Step 4:
Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled and combined, creating a smooth, creamy mixture.

Step 5:
Strain the mixture evenly into the prepared shot glasses.

Step 6:
Garnish each shot with a small slice of fresh strawberry or a tiny piece of pink candy to echo the Starburst inspiration.

Step 7:
Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, fruity burst!

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for the best fresh, bright citrus flavor.
Shake well with ice to achieve that perfect chilled and slightly frothy texture.
Rim sugar can be dyed or flavored for extra flair—try pink lemonade sugar for a citrusy twist.
