🍓 Strawberry Sugar Shots – Berry Vodka & Strawberry Syrup Rim

Bright, juicy, and candy-sweet—these shots combine berry vodka with syrupy strawberry flavor, finished with a sparkly sugar rim. Perfect for summer nights or sweet-themed parties.

🍸 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots)

For the Shots:

• 3 oz berry vodka (or strawberry-flavored vodka)

• 1 oz strawberry liqueur (like DeKuyper or Bols)

• 1 oz lemon juice (freshly squeezed for brightness)

• 1 oz simple syrup (or more to taste)

• 2 fresh strawberries (optional, for muddling)

• Ice (for shaking)

For the Rim:

• 2 tbsp strawberry syrup (like Torani or homemade)

• 2 tbsp pink sanding sugar or regular sugar (dyed pink or red)

• Optional: crushed freeze-dried strawberries mixed into the sugar for extra berry flavor

Optional Garnish:

• Mini strawberry slices or heart-shaped gummies

• Pink glitter or shimmer dust

🧊 Directions

1. Prepare the Glasses:

   • Pour strawberry syrup onto a shallow plate.

   • On a separate plate, spread your pink sugar.

   • Dip the rim of each shot glass into the syrup, then roll in the sugar to coat.

   • Set aside to dry for a minute or two—this creates a sticky, sparkly rim.

2. Make the Shot Mix:

   • In a cocktail shaker, muddle fresh strawberries (if using) with lemon juice and simple syrup to boost the natural flavor.

   • Add berry vodka, strawberry liqueur, and a handful of ice.

   • Shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds.

3. Strain & Pour:

   • Strain the mixture into your sugar-rimmed shot glasses.

4. Optional Garnish:

   • Top each shot with a tiny slice of strawberry or a pink candy. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of edible glitter for sparkle.
