Ingredients
½ oz strawberry vodka
½ oz cherry vodka
1 oz fruit punch (store-bought or homemade)
Splash of grenadine
Ice (for shaking)
Swedish Fish candy, for garnish
Instructions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add the strawberry vodka, cherry vodka, fruit punch, and grenadine.
Shake well for 10–15 seconds until chilled.
Strain into two shot glasses.
Garnish each shot with a Swedish Fish candy—either pressed gently onto the rim or skewered on a cocktail pick.
Notes
No strawberry vodka? Raspberry or mixed berry vodka will still bring that sweet candy vibe.
You can swap fruit punch with cranberry or cherry juice if you prefer a more tart finish.
Want to make it a cocktail? Triple the recipe and serve over ice in a rocks glass—top with soda for a fizzy twist.
These are best served fresh and ice-cold, so shake and shoot right away!
