🥃 What is a Pixie Stix Shot?

A pixie stix shot is a combination of cherry vodka, grape vodka, blue curacao, Sprite and sweet and sour mix. This bright blue shot tastes like a blue raspberry pixie stix and having little bite of vodka.

Pixie stix are a fun candy you may remember from your childhood. They’re essentially like powdered flavored sugar that has a little bit of tartness added in.

If you are in the mood for this pixie stix flavor, but what a whole drink, shake up the pixie stix flavored martini.

One of the great things about this shot is that it’s super easy to shake up. You only need about 5 minutes. Simply dump everything in your shaker and shake well.

⭐ When to Make This Drink

  • Birthday parties
  • Cocktail hour
  • Dessert drinks
  • Weekend celebrations

  • Make it one flavor. Use only cherry or only grape vodka instead of both. Simply use 1.5 oz of whichever you choose. Simply use 1.5 oz of whichever you choose.
  • Make your own sweet and sour mix. Sweet and sour mix is essentially a combination of lemon juice and simple syrup. You can make your own instead of using store-bought.
  • Make it orange flavored. Use an orange flavored vodka instead of grape and cherry to have an orange flavored pixie stix.
  • Rim the glass. Add a little simple syrup or wipe a lemon wedge around the edge of the glass. Then, roll the glass in actual pixie stix to amp up the flavor.

If you love candy themed shots, shake some of these up: Smarties shot, Tootsie roll shot or the Pink starburst shot.
