🍸 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots)

Lemon Candy Base

• 2 oz citrus vodka (or lemon vodka)

• 1 oz limoncello

• ½ oz fresh lemon juice

• ½ oz simple syrup (or sour mix for extra zing)

• ¼ tsp edible gold shimmer or yellow luster dust

🧊 Instructions

1. Rim the Shot Glasses
   Rub the rim of each shot glass with a lemon wedge. Dip into yellow sanding sugar or a mix of crushed lemon candy and edible glitter. For a fun “pop,” use lemon-flavored Pop Rocks.

2. Make the Lemon Candy Mix
   In a shaker with ice, combine citrus vodka, limoncello, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Add edible gold shimmer or luster dust. Shake well until icy cold and glowing.
   ➤ Strain into the prepared shot glasses.

3. Garnish (Optional but Fun!)
   Balance a mini lemon wedge or lemon drop candy on the rim, or use a toothpick with a sour gummy for a festive finish.
