Pink Starburst Shot
Ingredients:
1 cup vodka (or other clear spirit of your choice)
1/2 cup pink lemonade (chilled)
1/4 cup cranberry juice (chilled)
1/4 cup water (chilled)
1 (3-ounce) package strawberry gelatin
1/4 cup sugar (or to taste, adjust depending on the sweetness of your lemonade)
Starburst candies (pink flavor), for garnish (optional)
Ice cubes
Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, sprinkle the strawberry gelatin over the cooled sugar-water mixture. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.
3. Gently whisk the gelatin mixture until it's completely dissolved and smooth.
4. Stir in the chilled pink lemonade, cranberry juice, and vodka. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
5. Pour the mixture into shot glasses or small dessert cups.
6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the gelatin is completely set and firm.
7. Before serving, if desired, garnish each shot with a small piece of pink Starburst candy.
8. Serve chilled and enjoy responsibly!
