🎃 Pumpkin Hex Shots
Pumpkin spice vodka with orange shimmer — a spellbinding autumn shot!
Makes: 6–8 mystical shots

🧪 Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup pumpkin spice vodka

• 1/4 cup Irish cream liqueur (like Baileys Pumpkin Spice or classic)

• 1/4 cup orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec)

• 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for creaminess)

• 1 tbsp simple syrup (adjust to taste)

• Edible orange luster dust or shimmer powder

• Whipped cream (for garnish)

• Orange sanding sugar or gold sprinkles (rim)

• Mini cinnamon sticks or star anise (optional garnish)

🔮 Instructions:

1. Prepare the glasses:
   Moisten the rims of your shot glasses with a bit of simple syrup or orange juice. Dip each glass into orange sanding sugar or gold sprinkles to create a glittering, magical rim.

2. Mix the potion:
   In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour in the pumpkin spice vodka, Irish cream, orange liqueur, heavy cream (if using), and simple syrup. Add a pinch of edible orange shimmer dust. Shake well for 20 seconds until chilled and lightly frothy.

3. Strain and serve:
   Strain the shimmering mix into the prepared shot glasses. Watch the swirl of orange shimmer settle like a spellbinding fog.

4. Garnish:
   Top with a tiny swirl of whipped cream and place a small cinnamon stick or star anise on the side for a touch of Halloween mystique.
