Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 oz Watermelon Pucker
  • 0.25 oz Blue Curacao
  • 3 Jolly Rancher Sour Gummies

Instructions
 

  • Measure out the Blue Curaçao with a jigger and pour it into the shot glass. Since it has a higher sugar content, it will naturally settle at the bottom.
  • Layer the Watermelon Pucker on top by drizzling it gently and slowly over the back of a bar spoon. Hold the tip of the spoon against the inside rim of the glass and pour the Watermelon Pucker over it. This helps the liquid float on top instead of blending. Leave about ¼ inch at the top.
  • Prepare the garnish by choosing three Jolly Rancher gummies (we used pink, red, and blue sour gummies). Pierce each gummy through the middle with a toothpick, then rest it on top of the shot glass.
  • This keeps the layering accurate and ensures the visual effect matches the actual density of the ingredients.
  • Would you like to double-check the layering by making another test shot, or do you feel confident with the fix? 😊
