Making The Cocktail
A cocktail is a blend of a base spirit like Vodka, Gin, or Rum, a modifier such as syrup, fruit juice, liqueur, and a sweetener topped up with a garnish.
- A pink Starburst shot is made with vanilla Vodka, watermelon pucker(a liqueur made of watermelon juice, sugar, and alcohol), and sweet and sour mix in equal quantities.
- The sweet-sour mix is a commercially made mixer with lemon juice and lime and perfectly balances the sweet flavor of the cocktail.
- Strain the mixture, and don’t miss the ice cubes!
- This sweet candy pink drink definitely needs pretty shot glasses ( of course, in a pinch, even plastic cups will do!). Prechill the shot glasses and rim the edges with a mix of corn syrup and sugar.
- Garnish with pink Starburst candy or a lemon wedge, and serve!
You can make variants of this drink with cranberry juice, ginger ale, or agave nectar.
