Step 6: Enjoy

Serve to your guests immediately while it’s still chilled. Sip and savour the vibrant flavours of the Shot, allowing the fruity combination to dance on your taste buds.

Tips

1. Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter shot, you can add a touch of simple syrup or sugar to the mixture. Be sure to taste and adjust accordingly.
2. Experiment with ratios: Feel free to experiment with the ingredient ratios to suit your taste preferences. You can increase or decrease the amounts of certain liqueurs or juices to customize the flavour profile.
3. Rim the glass: For an added touch, you can rim the highball glass with coloured sugar or crushed Skittles candies to create a visually appealing and tasty accent.
4. Chill the ingredients: You can chill the individual ingredients before mixing for an even colder and more refreshing Shot. Place the vodka, Southern Comfort, melon liqueur, pineapple juice, and sweet & sour mix in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before making the shot.
5. Serve with a straw: Consider providing a colourful straw alongside the Skittles Shot to enhance the drinking experience and add to the festive vibe.
