Ingredients
1 oz vodka (chilled)
1 oz coconut rum (Malibu recommended)
1 oz orange juice (fresh or bottled)
1 oz cranberry juice (100% juice or cranberry cocktail)
Ice (for shaking, optional)
4 shot glasses (standard 1.5 oz)
Instructions
In a shaker or small mixing cup, combine the vodka, coconut rum, and orange juice. Add ice and shake or stir until chilled.
Evenly divide the mixture into 4 shot glasses, filling each about ¾ of the way.
Using the back of a spoon, slowly pour cranberry juice over the top of each shot to create a layered effect.
Serve immediately. Add a mini orange wedge or cocktail umbrella for flair, if desired.
Notes
For an extra tropical twist, swap the orange juice with pineapple juice or use flavored vodka like mango or passionfruit.
Chilling your ingredients helps the layers stay distinct—cold liquids layer better than warm!
Want to prep ahead? Mix the vodka, rum, and juice and chill up to 24 hours in advance. Just add the cranberry layer right before serving.
This recipe makes 4 shots but can easily be scaled up for a party batch!
