Sour Patch Shots


  • Author: Stephanie

Description

πŸ§ͺ Ingredients (makes ~12–15 mini shots):
– ΒΎ cup fruit punch vodka (or berry vodka works too)
– 1 packet citrus Jell-O (lemon, lime, or orange – or mix half lemon + half lime!)
– 1 cup water
– 1 tbsp sour mix (optional but adds kick)
– Optional: a few drops of green or neon food coloring for extra *sour vibes*
πŸ‹ Sour Sugar Rim:
– 2 tbsp sugar
– 1 tsp citric acid (for that *real sour patch* feel)
– Dip rims in lemon juice or simple syrup, then the sour sugar
πŸŽ‰ Optional Garnish:
– Mini Sour Patch Kids candies or sour gummy worms
– Spritz of lemon juice on top right before serving
πŸ’₯ Instructions:
1. **Boil the blast** – Bring 1 cup water to a boil.
2. **Stir it in** – Remove from heat, dissolve citrus Jell-O fully.
3. **Power it up** – Add vodka, sour mix, and food coloring if using. Stir well.
4. **Chill to thrill** – Pour into plastic shot cups and refrigerate until set (2–3 hours).
5. **Get sour** – Rim each cup with sour sugar just before serving. Garnish with a Sour Patch Kid if you dare.
πŸ”₯ **Extra twist**: Make half the batch lemon-lime and half berry or watermelon, and layer them for a *sweet vs sour* battle in one shot!
