Fizzy Pop Rock Shots

Candy vodka with glowing crackle and fizzy fun
🍬💥 Makes 6–8 shots


🧪 Ingredients:

For the Shots:

  • 2 oz candy-infused vodka (see below)

  • 1 oz lemon-lime soda or tonic water (glows under blacklight!)

  • 1 oz sour apple or blue raspberry liqueur (for color and tang)

  • ½ oz simple syrup or candy syrup (optional for sweetness)

  • Pinch of edible shimmer dust or glow-safe glitter

  • Ice

For Candy Vodka (Quick Infusion Option):

  • Soak ½ cup crushed hard candy (like Jolly Ranchers or Skittles) in 1 cup vodka for 1–2 hours, then strain.

For Rim & Garnish:

  • Light corn syrup

  • 1–2 packets of Pop Rocks (any flavor—strawberry, watermelon, blue razz)

  • Mini lollipops or rock candy sticks (optional)


🍸 Instructions:

  1. Rim the Glasses:

    • Dip shot glass rims in corn syrup.

    • Roll in Pop Rocks until coated—do this just before serving to keep the popping alive.

  2. Shake the Glow Mix:

    • In a cocktail shaker, add the candy vodka, sour liqueur, simple syrup, and edible shimmer.

    • Add ice and shake until chilled and sparkly.

  3. Add the Fizz:

    • Strain into rimmed shot glasses.

    • Top each with a splash of tonic or lemon-lime soda for fizz and glow.

  4. Optional Finish:

    • Drop a few loose Pop Rocks directly into the shot for in-glass crackling!

    • Garnish with a mini candy stick or lollipop if desired.
