Ingredients

  • 4 ounces Vanilla vodka
  • 4 ounces Watermelon Puckers
  • 4 ounces Sweet and Sour Mix

Optional Garnish

  • Lite corn syrup
  • Pink sugar
  • Pink starburst

Instructions

  • Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Pour in the vanilla vodka, watermelon puckers, and sweet and sour mix.

To garnish:

  • Pour the lite corn syrup in a shallow dish or bowl. Swirl the rim of the glass or shot glasses in the corn syrup. You can also use a lemon wedge to rim the glass.
  • Pour some pink sugar in a shallow dish or bowl. Swirl the rim of the glass or shot glasses in the pink syrup.
  • Cut a small slit in a pink starburst and wedge it onto the rim of the cocktail glass or shot glass.
