🧪 Directions
-
Prepare the Base Layer:
In a mixing glass, stir together grenadine and lemon-lime soda. Pour evenly into the bottom of each shot glass (about 1/2 inch). -
Mix the Citrus Layer:
In a shaker with ice, combine orange juice, peach schnapps, and lemon juice. Shake well until chilled. -
Layer the Shot:
Slowly pour the citrus mixture over the back of a spoon to layer it gently above the grenadine base in each shot glass. -
Top with Glow Mist (Optional):
Add a few drops of tonic water on top for a black-light glow effect, or a dollop of foam from citrus soda to create a misty sunrise look. -
Optional Rim:
Rim the shot glasses with neon sugar or edible glitter for a dazzling finish.
🌟 Serving Tip
Serve these under a black light to make the tonic water shimmer! Add a mini orange wedge or a cherry on a cocktail pick for a finishing touch. They’re the perfect photo-worthy party shots!
