Pink Starburst Shot Recipe

This sweet cocktail shot takes minutes to prepare and tastes amazing.


This easy fruity cocktail shot tastes like your favorite sweet treat in a cocktail shooter.

We have been having so much fun making candy-inspired cocktail shots this year. We have quite a few more coming out soon including a Tootsie Roll Shot, Pay Day Shot, and even a Captain Crunch Shot.

I love the vibrant pink color of this Starburst Drink Recipe! You can make this recipe as a shot, cocktail drink, or as a slushy.

Did you know that the pink Starburst is most people's favorite Starbursts flavor? There are multiple articles talking about how amazing it is.

We also made Pink Starburst Jell-o Shots and can't wait to share them with you.

Ingredients Needed

A few simple ingredients are all you need to make this Strawberry Starburst Shot.

  • Vanilla Vodka
  • Watermelon Schnapps/Watermelon Pucker
  • Sweet and Sour Mix

Corn Syrup - to add to the rim of shot glasses so the sprinkles will stick to it.

Garnish - Whipped Cream/Cool Whip, Pink Sugar Sprinkles, Pink Starburst Candy

Vanilla Vodka - This could be switched for vanilla rum if you prefer the flavor.

Equipment Needed

OXO angled jiggers - these are our go-to measuring tools for cocktails. They work perfectly for pouring in layers for cocktails.

2 ounce shot glasses - We love these 2 oz shot glasses especially for layered shots.

Cocktail Shaker – This cocktail shaker comes with a fantastic set of tools

How to make a Pink Starburst Shot

Step 1 - Rim sides of the shot glass with corn syrup allowing excess to drip off. Then dip into a small bowl filled with pink sprinkles until the edges of the shot glass are coated.

Step 2 - Combine Vodka, Watermelon Schnapps, and Sweet and Sour mix in a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes. . Shake together until chilled.

Step 3 - Carefully pour into the shot glass. Cut a slit into a pink starburst to attach it to the rim of the glass.

How to make a Pink Starburst Cocktail Drink

Increase the amount of each ingredients to fill a cocktail glass over ice.

To make a large batch of this cocktail add all of the ingredients to a pitcher. Whisk or stir together. Do not add ice until you are ready to serve the drink so it doesn't get watered down.

Garnish with a fun pink striped straw for a cute cocktail.

Recipe Tips

If you don't have a cocktail shaker you can add the ingredients to a large glass or pitcher and give it a good stir them with a bartending spoon.

This drink can be made into a slushy by adding all the ingredients and ice to a blender. Blend until you have the consistency you want. Serve in a chilled mason jar or glass.

This is the perfect cocktail for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Spring, Summer, or any day you want to serve sweet shots.

Store any leftovers if you have them in the fridge with an airtight lid.
