Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Glass

In a cocktail shaker, combine ½ oz of premium peach schnapps, ½ oz of blue curaçao, ½ oz of high-quality vodka, and ½ oz of fresh pineapple juice. Add a few ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until the ingredients are well-chilled and blended.
Step 3: Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into your prepared shot glass. The vibrant blue of the curaçao and the peach schnapps will blend beautifully with the pineapple juice, creating a striking and colorful shot.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
For an elegant finish, garnish the Forever Young Shot with a delicate twist of citrus peel, such as lemon or lime. This adds a refreshing citrus note and enhances the visual appeal of the shot. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, fruity, and sparkling flavors.
