Smarties Shot

Looking for a fun and easy candy inspired shot to try? Try out this pretty, sweet green colored smarties shot. This one is so easy to make as you only need two ingredients.

What is a Smarties Shot?

A smarties shot is a simple combination of equal parts grape pucker and Midori liqueur. The shot is a very low alcohol drink and has a sweet fruit flavor. I’m not sure that I would say it tastes exactly like a Smarties candy though.

If you’re into candy inspired shots you might also want to give the pixie stick shot or the pink starburst shot a try. Additionally, The grape Gatorade and Kool-Aid shots have similar flavors.

Midori is a neon green melon flavored liqueur. It originated in Japan and is made from muskmelons. It has a sweet almost honeydew like flavor. It is used often times to give drinks a bright green color. Like this broken down golf cart shot.

Grape pucker is a dark purple colored schnapps. It has a sweet and sour grape flavor.
