✨ Ingredients:

For the Citrus Shot Base:

  • 1 oz orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec)

  • 1 oz citrus vodka or lemon vodka

  • ½ oz fresh lemon juice

  • ½ oz lime juice

  • ½ oz simple syrup or orange syrup (to balance the tang)

  • Optional: pinch of edible shimmer or glitter dust for sparkle

  • Ice

For the Sweet Foam Topper:

  • 2 tbsp marshmallow fluff or vanilla whipped cream

  • 1 tbsp citrus soda (lemon-lime or orange soda)

  • Tiny pinch of citric acid or a few drops of lemon juice (for a fizzy candy-like tang)

  • Optional: whipped cream charger or milk frother for fluffier foam

For the Rim (Optional):

  • Lemon-lime or orange sanding sugar

  • Light corn syrup or citrus juice for rimming


🍹 Instructions:

1. Prep the Rim (Optional but dazzling):

  • Dip rims of shot glasses in corn syrup or citrus juice.

  • Roll in citrus sugar and set aside.

2. Mix the Shot Base:

  • In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine:

    • Orange liqueur

    • Citrus vodka

    • Lemon juice

    • Lime juice

    • Simple syrup

    • (Optional) Edible shimmer

  • Shake until very cold and slightly frothy.

3. Prepare the Sweet Foam Topper:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together:

    • Marshmallow fluff or whipped cream

    • Citrus soda

    • Small splash of lemon juice

  • Use a milk frother or tiny whisk to aerate it into a pourable foam.

  • (Optional: Use a whipped cream dispenser with nitrous for café-style foam.)

4. Assemble the Shots:

  • Strain the citrus shot mixture into your prepared glasses (fill about ¾ full).

  • Gently spoon or pipe the foam on top to form a sweet cloud cap.

  • Optional: Garnish with a dusting of edible glitter, citrus zest, or a tiny candy piece.
