🍓 Melty Pop Shots 🍓

Strawberry cream with a candy syrup stripe – sweet, melty, and beautiful
🍭🥛 Makes 6–8 dessert-style shots

🧪 Ingredients:

For the Shots:

• 2 oz strawberry cream liqueur (like Tequila Rose or homemade – see below)

• 1 oz vanilla vodka (or whipped cream vodka)

• 1 oz sweetened condensed milk or half & half (for a creamy base)

• ½ oz strawberry syrup or melted strawberry candy drizzle

• Ice

• Pinch of edible shimmer or glitter (optional)

For the Candy Syrup Stripe:

• Strawberry or cherry syrup

• Or melt hard strawberry candies with a splash of water for a sticky drizzle

Garnish (Optional):

• Whipped cream

• Crushed pink rock candy or sugar pearls

• Mini strawberry or pink marshmallows

🍸 Instructions:

1. Stripe the Glasses:

   • Use a spoon or squeeze bottle to drizzle candy syrup down the inside of each shot glass, creating “melty” vertical stripes.

   • Chill glasses for 5–10 minutes so syrup sticks in place.

2. Make the Creamy Mix:

   • In a cocktail shaker, combine strawberry cream liqueur, vanilla vodka, sweetened condensed milk, and ice.

   • Add shimmer if using.

   • Shake well until cold and smooth.

3. Pour with Care:

   • Gently pour the creamy mix into the striped glasses, keeping the syrup lines intact.

4. Garnish (Optional):

   • Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed candy or a marshmallow.
