Scale

- 1 oz sour apple schnapps
- 1 oz grenadine syrup
- Crushed or blended ice
- Green sanding sugar (for rimming)
- Red lollipop or candy apple (for garnish)
Instructions
- Dip the rim of each shot glass into simple syrup, then coat with green sanding sugar for a fun, candy-like edge.
- Pour 1 oz of grenadine into the bottom of each shot glass to create the vibrant red base.
- Carefully fill the glass with crushed or blended ice to help with layering.
- Slowly pour 1 oz of apple vodka and 1 oz of sour apple schnapps over the ice using the back of a spoon for a clean, green layer.
- Garnish with a red lollipop or a small slice of candy apple for an extra festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use cold vodka and schnapps for the best flavor and presentation.
- For a caramel apple twist, substitute grenadine with caramel syrup and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on the rim.
- Non-alcoholic version: Replace vodka and schnapps with sparkling apple cider and a splash of lemon-lime soda.
- Make just before serving to maintain the layered look and freshness.
