Notes

  • Watermelon jolly rancher: to get a watermelon flavored jolly rancher shot, use watermelon pucker.
  • Green apple jolly rancher. To get a green apple flavored jolly rancher shop, use apple schnapps or apple pucker.
  • Raspberry jolly rancher shot. To get a blue raspberry flavored jolly rancher, use raspberry schnapps. If you want to add the blue color, add a dash of blue curacao.
  • Grape jolly rancher shot. To get a grape flavored jolly rancher, use grape schnapps.
  • Use jolly rancher infused vodka. You can make your own jolly rancher flavored vodka by soaking jolly ranchers in your vodka. Then, just add a dash of sour mix or lemon lime soda to top your shot glass off.

Mixing Tips

  • Shake well. The shaking step not only mixes your ingredients, but also chills the drink. Make sure to shake until the shaker is cold on the outside.
  • Clean the shaker. If you are making multiple flavors, make sure to rinse the shaker and jigger between each so they don't get messy.
  • Make in batch. Easily make more than one shot of each flavor by multiplying the ingredients by double or triple.
