🍋 Ingredients:
For the Shots:
-
1 oz citrus vodka (or orange vodka)
-
1 oz pineapple juice
-
½ oz lemon juice (fresh for brightness)
-
½ oz triple sec or orange liqueur
-
½ oz simple syrup or peach syrup (for smooth sweetness)
-
¼ tsp edible shimmer dust (gold or iridescent—this is the “candy dust float”)
-
Ice
For the Rim & Garnish:
-
Lemon wedge or corn syrup (for rim)

Citrus sugar or fine candy powder (like crushed SweeTARTS or lemon sherbet candy)
-
Optional: Gummy citrus slices or mini swirl lollipops
🌀 Instructions:
-
Rim the Glasses:
-
Moisten the rims of your shot glasses with a lemon wedge or corn syrup.
-
Dip into citrus sugar or crushed tart candy for a colorful, tangy sparkle.
-
Chill if desired.

-
Shake the Citrus Swirl:
-
In a cocktail shaker, combine citrus vodka, pineapple juice, lemon juice, triple sec, and syrup.
-
Add shimmer dust and a scoop of ice.
-
Shake vigorously until chilled and slightly frothy.
-
-
Strain & Float:
-
Strain into the prepared glasses.
-
If desired, lightly sprinkle a touch more shimmer dust on top just before serving—it’ll “float” for a swirling effect.
