Ingredients
To make a perfect Barbie’s Revenge Shot, you need the right balance of sweetness, tartness, and strength. The following ingredients create a visually striking and delicious shot:
- 1 oz vodka (preferably vanilla or berry-flavored) – The base spirit that provides smoothness and a little kick.
- 1/2 oz cranberry juice – Adds a tart, fruity flavor and deepens the pink color of the shot.
- 1/2 oz raspberry liqueur (Chambord or Razzmatazz) – Enhances the berry flavor and sweetness.
- 1/4 oz grenadine – Intensifies the vibrant pink color and adds a touch of sweetness.
- 1/4 oz sour mix – Balances the sweetness with a bit of tartness, making the shot more dynamic.
- Splash of club soda or lemon-lime soda (optional) – Adds a slight fizz for extra texture.
- Ice cubes – Chills the shot to perfection.
- Pink sugar or edible glitter (optional, for rimming the shot glasses) – Gives the drink an extra touch of glamour.
- Maraschino cherries or pink rock candy (for garnish) – Adds a fun finishing touch.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Shot Glasses
If you want to add an extra layer of style to your Barbie’s Revenge Shot, rim your shot glasses with pink sugar or edible glitter. To do this, pour a small amount of grenadine or lemon juice onto a plate. Dip the rim of each shot glass into the liquid, then dip it into a plate of pink sugar or glitter. Let the glasses sit while you prepare the drink.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to chill the drink. Add the vodka, cranberry juice, raspberry liqueur, grenadine, and sour mix. If you want a little fizz, add a splash of club soda or lemon-lime soda. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to properly blend and chill the ingredients.
Step 3: Strain into Shot Glasses
Using a cocktail strainer, pour the mixture evenly into prepared shot glasses. The drink should have a deep pink color and be well-mixed with a slight froth on top.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
For a final glamorous touch, garnish each shot with a maraschino cherry or a piece of pink rock candy. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- If using flavored vodka, make sure it complements the berry and citrus flavors. Vanilla vodka adds a smooth touch, while berry vodka enhances the fruitiness.
- Always shake the mixture with plenty of ice to ensure the shot is well-chilled. Warm or weak shots won’t have the same bold impact.
- If making a large batch, mix the ingredients in a pitcher and store it in the fridge until serving time. Just shake with ice before pouring into shot glasses.
