Notes
- Vodka: Apple vodka gives these the classic sweet-tart candy flavor. You can experiment with other fruit-flavored vodkas, like cherry, raspberry, watermelon, or green apple.
- Cranberry juice: Use sweetened cranberry juice rather than unsweetened so the shots aren’t too tart.
- Serve cold: Shake for the full 15 to 20 seconds and serve immediately. For extra-cold shots, chill the shot glasses for about 10 minutes first.
- Make ahead: Combine the apple vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry juice, and pineapple juice without ice and refrigerate. Shake with ice just before serving.
- Candy rim: Crush Jolly Rancher candies and use them to rim the shot glasses for a fun party version.
- Stronger shots: Reduce the cranberry juice slightly rather than adding more vodka so you don't overpower the fruity flavor.
