Ingredients
  

  • 1 oz Watermelon Schnapps

  • 0.5 oz Lemon Juice for balance
Optional Garnishes
  • Pink Sanding Sugar for rim
  • Small strawberry slices
  • Fresh mint leaves

Equipment

  • Shot Glass
  • Cocktail Shaker

Method
 

  1. If desired, wet the rim of the shot glass with lemon juice or simple syrup and dip into pink sanding sugar for a clumpy, crystallized rim.
  2. Combine 1 oz watermelon schnapps, 1 oz strawberry vodka, and 1/2 oz lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  3. Shake vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
  4. Strain the thick, gooey, viscous pink liquid into the prepared shot glass.
  5. Garnish with a small strawberry slice and a mint leaf.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

The lemon juice is key to balancing the sweetness of the schnapps and vodka. Pre-chilling the glasses helps maintain temperature. Use clumpy pink sanding sugar for the signature 'lipstick' rim.
