-
1 oz lemon-lime soda (for fizz)

1/2 oz sour mix or fresh lemon juice

Pop Candy Rim:
-
2 tbsp Pop Rocks candy (cherry or tropical punch flavor)

Lime wedge or simple syrup (to moisten rims)

-
Prepare the Pop Rim:
-
Just before serving (so they stay fizzy), pour Pop Rocks onto a small plate.
-
Moisten rims of shot glasses with a lime wedge or syrup.

Dip into Pop Rocks to coat. Don’t do this too early—they’ll melt!

Add a neon gummy or maraschino cherry on a mini sword pick.

Float extra shimmer on top for a glitter pop effect.
