How to make the Starburst shots without a cocktail shaker:
If you do not have a cocktail shaker, a large glass or pitcher will work. Simply add the ice to the glass or pitcher. Then add the equal parts vodka, sweet and sour, and watermelon puckers. Use a large spoon to stir the mixture up. Strain the mixture into serving glasses or shot glasses.
