Ingredients

For the lemon-lime mix:

  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • ½ cup lime juice

For the shots:

  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar
  • Pinch of powdered pink food dye
  • ½ cup vanilla vodka
  • ½ cup watermelon sourz
  • ½ cup lemon-lime mix
  • 6 pink starburst

Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • In a small pot over high heat, add the water and sugar.
  • Stir and mix constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved (this may happen before it even reaches a boil).
  • Remove the pot from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. You can speed up this process by transferring the sugar water to a safe container and putting it in the fridge.
  • Once the sugar water has cooled to room temperature or colder, transfer it to a glass jar or other airtight container and add the lemon juice and lime juice.
  • Make sure the lid is on properly and shake to incorporate the juice and sugar water. Place in the fridge until needed.
  • To assemble the shots, first mix together the sugar and food dye until the sugar has been colored a pleasant pink shade.
  • Put the colored sugar on a small plate and set aside.
  • In a cocktail shaker, add a few ice cubes along with the vodka, watermelon sourz, and lemon-lime mix. Place the lid firmly on and shake vigorously for a minute to mix.
  • Dip the rims of your shot glasses in the lemon-lime mix then into the dyed sugar to coat the edges.
  • Pour the liquor from the cocktail mixer into the shot glasses (trying not to ruin the sugar).
  • Stick an unwrapped pink starburst on the rim, serve, and enjoy!
