🌟 North Star Shots

Cool mint and lemon with glowing star sprinkles

✨ Ingredients (makes 6–8 shots):

• 3 oz lemon vodka (chilled)

• 2 oz crème de menthe (white/clear, for minty coolness)

• 2 oz lemonade (fresh or bottled)

• 1/2 oz simple syrup (optional, to balance tartness)

• Edible star-shaped sprinkles (shimmery or glow-in-blacklight)

• Ice cubes

Optional Rim:

• Lemon zest sugar (1 tbsp sugar + 1/2 tsp lemon zest)

• Light corn syrup or lemon wedge (for sticking)

🌌 Directions:

1. Prepare the Rims (Optional)
   Run a lemon wedge around the rims of your shot glasses. Dip into lemon zest sugar for a starlit sparkle.

2. Mix the Constellation
   In a shaker with ice, combine lemon vodka, crème de menthe, lemonade, and simple syrup (if using). Shake until chilled and well-blended.

3. Add the Star Magic
   Drop a few edible star sprinkles into each shot glass.

4. Pour and Shine
   Strain the mint-lemon mixture into each glass over the star sprinkles. Serve immediately for a floating galaxy effect.

🌠 Optional Enhancements:

• Use tonic water in place of lemonade for a glow-in-the-dark effect under blacklight.

• Add a tiny mint leaf or lemon twist for garnish.

• For winter parties, serve with a tiny sugar-dusted mint leaf as a “frozen star.”
