🦩 Flamingo Pop Shots

Watermelon and strawberry fizz in bright pink.

🍸 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots)

For the Shot:

• 2 oz watermelon vodka (or plain vodka + watermelon syrup)

• 1 oz strawberry liqueur (or strawberry schnapps)

• 1 oz pink lemonade (for tartness and vivid color)

• 1 oz lemon-lime soda or tonic water (for fizz + glow)

• 1/2 oz simple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

• 1/4 tsp edible pink glitter or shimmer dust

• Ice (for shaking)

🍉 For the Candy Rim (Optional):

• Pink sanding sugar or crushed strawberry candy

• Simple syrup or lemon juice (to stick)

• Optional: Pop Rocks or strawberry popping candy for a fizzy rim

🧃 Instructions

1. Prepare the Rim

• Rim shot glasses with lemon juice or simple syrup.

• Dip into pink sugar or crushed candy.

• Chill glasses in freezer for a few minutes to set.

2. Mix the Shot

In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine:

• Watermelon vodka

• Strawberry liqueur

• Pink lemonade

• Simple syrup

• Edible pink glitter (optional)

Shake vigorously until chilled and frothy.

3. Add the Fizz

Right before pouring, stir in the lemon-lime soda or tonic water to maintain sparkle.

Strain into the rimmed glasses — they should glow pink and sparkle like a flamingo at a dance party.
