• Add edible glitter or food coloring if desired.

• Shake well with ice for 10–15 seconds until chilled and slightly frothy.

3. Pour and Serve:

• Carefully pour the mixture into your candy-rimmed shot glasses.

• Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving or serve over mini ice cubes.

4. Garnish (Optional):

• Float a mini gummy ring, tiny tropical umbrella, or a small fruit wedge for presentation.

🍹 Flavor Variations:

• Swap passionfruit for guava, dragonfruit, or papaya juice for different island vibes.

• Use malibu coconut rum for a creamier, beachy flavor.

• For non-alcoholic versions, omit the rum and add more punch or Sprite.
