💥🍒 Sweet N’ Sour Shots – Sour Cherry & Lime with Glitter Sugar

This shot is a perfect clash of sweet and tart—bursting with sour cherry and zesty lime, finished with a glittering sugar rim. It’s a juicy jolt of flavor with a fun shimmer and a candy-style punch.


🍸 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots)

Shot Mix

  • 1 oz sour cherry liqueur (or cherry schnapps + splash of lemon juice)

  • 1 oz lime vodka (or regular vodka + fresh lime juice)

  • ½ oz sweet & sour mix

  • ¼ oz grenadine (optional, for deep cherry hue)

  • ⅛ tsp edible glitter (silver or red)

Rim

  • Lime wedge (for rimming)

  • Red or green glitter sugar

  • Optional: crushed sour cherry candy or sour belt dust

Optional Garnish

  • Sour cherry or lime wedge on a toothpick

  • Tiny piece of sour belt candy curled over the rim


🧊 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glasses
    Rub the rim of each shot glass with a lime wedge. Dip into a mix of glitter sugar and optional crushed sour candy for a dazzling sour rim.

  2. Mix the Shot
    In a shaker with ice, combine sour cherry liqueur, lime vodka, sweet & sour mix, and grenadine (if using). Add a pinch of edible glitter for shimmer.
    ➤ Shake well until icy cold and lightly frothy.
    ➤ Strain into each prepared shot glass.

  3. Garnish (Optional)
    Skewer a sour cherry or lime wedge and balance across the rim. Or add a curl of sour belt candy for fun.
