Notes
- Vodka: Apple vodka is my favorite for this recipe, but green apple, cherry, raspberry, or watermelon vodka are all fun variations.
- Cranberry juice: Use sweetened cranberry juice rather than unsweetened for the best balance of sweet and tart.
- Serve them cold: Shake for the full 15 to 20 seconds and serve immediately. You can also chill your shot glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Make ahead: Combine all four ingredients without ice and refrigerate. When you're ready to serve, shake the mixture with ice and strain into shot glasses.
- Candy rim: For a fun party version, crush Jolly Rancher candies into small pieces and use them to rim the shot glasses.
- Stronger shots: Reduce the cranberry juice slightly rather than adding more vodka so you don't overpower the fruity flavor.
