Ingredients:

  • 30 ml vodka
  • 30 ml watermelon pucker
  • 15 ml peach schnapps
  • 30 ml cranberry juice
  • 2 pieces Jolly Rancher candies
  • 15 ml simple syrup

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the candy. Place the 2 Jolly Rancher candies in a small bag and crush them into a fine dust. Note: A finer dust sticks better to the rim and won't fall into the drink.
  2. Rim the glasses. Dip the edge of two shot glasses into a tiny bit of simple syrup, then into the candy dust until the rim is fully coated in neon crystals.
  3. Chill the shaker. Fill your cocktail shaker halfway with fresh, solid ice cubes. Note: Small or melty ice will dilute your drink too quickly.
  4. Add the spirits. Pour 30 ml of vodka and 30 ml of watermelon pucker over the ice.
  5. Incorporate the fruit layers. Add 15 ml of peach schnapps and 30 ml of cranberry juice into the mix. Smell the tart watermelon aroma rising from the tin.
  6. Sweeten the deal. Pour in 15 ml of simple syrup to ensure that velvety texture.
  7. The big shake. Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds until the outside of the tin is frosty and painful to hold.
  8. Strain and serve. Divide the mixture evenly between your two rimmed shot glasses.
  9. The final touch. Drop any remaining candy shards into the bottom of the glass. Watch as the pink liquid begins to glow.
