For the Shots:

• 1½ oz strawberry soda (chilled)

• 1 oz candy-flavored liqueur (like Cotton Candy, Bubblegum, or Strawberry Schnapps)

🍹 Instructions:

1. Rim the Glasses (Optional but fun):

• Set aside.

2. Mix the Shots:

• In a shaker filled with ice, combine:

  • Candy liqueur

  • Vanilla vodka

  • Lemon juice

  • A small pinch of edible shimmer dust

• Shake well until chilled.

3. Pour and Flash It:

• Slowly top each shot with chilled strawberry soda to add fizz and volume.

• For a visual pop, drizzle grenadine slowly down the side for a candy-red swirl.
