Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

🥃 1 oz tequila blanco – Choose a quality silver tequila for a smooth finish.
🍓 ½ oz raspberry liqueur (or raspberry syrup for a sweeter version)
🍋 ½ oz fresh lime juice – Adds brightness and zing.
🍓 5-6 fresh raspberries – Muddled to release natural juices.
🍯 Optional: ¼ oz simple syrup or agave nectar – Sweeten to taste.
❄️ Ice – For shaking.
🧂 Optional: Sugar or Tajín – For rimming the shot glass.
🍓 Raspberry or lime wedge – For garnish.

Instructions

Step 1:
If you’d like a rimmed glass, rub a lime wedge around the rim of your shot glass and dip it in sugar or Tajín for a pop of sweet or spicy flavor.

Step 2:
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the fresh raspberries until juicy and broken down.

Step 3:
Add tequila, raspberry liqueur (or syrup), lime juice, and optional sweetener to the shaker.

Step 4:
Fill the shaker with ice, seal, and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until well chilled.

Step 5:
Strain the mixture into a chilled shot glass. Garnish with a raspberry or lime wedge, and serve immediately!

Notes

These shots are very forgiving, but a few key tips ensure success:

Always strain well if using muddled raspberries to avoid too much pulp in the shot.
Use chilled glasses for the best sipping experience.
For a balanced flavor, taste before pouring—some raspberries are more tart or sweet than others.
