Ingredients
These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:
-
🍓 1 oz Strawberry liqueur (such as DeKuyper or Bols)
-
⚡ 1 oz Vodka (plain or strawberry-flavored)
-
🍋 1/2 oz Sour mix or fresh lemon juice (for the stormy tang)
-
🥛 Optional: 1/4 oz cream or Baileys Strawberries & Cream (for cloud effect)
-
❄️ Ice (for shaking)
-
🍓 Fresh strawberry or sugar rim (optional garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Chill your shot glasses
Place shot glasses in the freezer 10–15 minutes before serving for a frosty effect.
Step 2: Add ingredients to a shaker
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour:
-
1 oz vodka
-
1 oz strawberry liqueur
-
1/2 oz sour mix or lemon juice
Step 3: Shake it like a storm
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This chills everything and creates a slightly frothy texture.
Step 4: Optional layer or swirl
If adding cream or Baileys, pour the shaken mix into a shot glass, then float the cream gently over the back of a spoon. It creates a swirling, stormy cloud.
Step 5: Garnish & serve
Garnish with a tiny strawberry slice or serve with a sugared rim. Take the shot cold, and let the storm roll in!
Notes
These shots don’t require cooking, but a few bar basics will elevate them:
-
🍓 Use high-quality strawberry liqueur for the best flavor. Cheap ones can taste artificial.
-
❄️ Shake with plenty of ice to get that crisp chill.
-
☁️ If using cream, pour slowly over a spoon — don’t shake it with the rest.
-
🥃 For layering, use a bar spoon or upside-down teaspoon.
-
🧪 Want better cloud effects? Slightly warm the cream so it doesn’t sink too fast
