Notes

- To create a sugar rim, dip the edges of the shot cups in simple syrup and then into sugar for a sparkling touch.
- Use a measuring cup with a spout or a turkey baster to pour the mixture into cups easily.
- Store the shots in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and cover them to prevent drying out.
