Gummy Bear Shot Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Instead of raspberry vodka you can use plain vodka mixed with a bit of raspberry liqueur or syrup to get that sweet berry flavor
If you don’t have peach schnapps try using apricot brandy or even a light peach flavored rum for a similar kick
Not into pineapple juice? Mango juice might be a cool twist if you’re aiming for that tropical vibe
For sweet and sour mix you can make your own by blending lemon or lime juice with simple syrup and a bit of water

Pro Tips

1. Make sure your ice is super fresh and not melting too fast cause if it does, it’ll water down your shot and ruin that punchy flavor.
2. Give the shaker a good, vigorous shake, but don’t overdo it that much, or u might end up with too many frosty bubbles ruining the taste.
3. If you like your drinks extra smooth, try straining slowly so u don’t get any tiny bits of ice in your shot.
4. Experiment a little with the ratios next time if it feels too sweet or tart; it’s cool to adjust it based on what u like best.
