The Sweet Tart Shot is a fun and colorful drink that combines different bright ingredients to create a purple shot. It’s made just like any other shot, by shaking up drinks together. I use vodka as the main ingredient, along with sweet and sour mix, Blue Curacao, and grenadine.

This shot has a sweet but strong taste, which makes it perfect for anyone who enjoys a good shot. I’ve noticed some people like to blend Sweet Tart candy into the drink, but I recommend using the candy as a garnish on top instead.

The drink’s sweet taste and strong kick make it great for parties. Plus, the purple color gives it a nice look that stands out.

Pro Tips

For an extra refreshing shot, chill the vodka and other mixers before making the shot. This helps the flavors come together smoothly.
Since vodka is the base, a smoother brand will improve the overall taste and make the shot less harsh.
If you prefer a less sweet shot, reduce the grenadine slightly or add a splash more vodka.
