# Ingredient List:
→ Shots
01 -
3 ounces peach schnapps
02 -
1 ounce vodka, plain, vanilla, or citrus
03 -
1 ounce orange juice or lemon-lime soda
04 -
0.5 ounce simple syrup, to taste
05 -
Ice, for shaking
→ Sugar Rim
06 -
2 tablespoons light corn syrup or honey
07 -
2 tablespoons coarse sugar, white, orange, or yellow
08 -
Pinch edible glitter or gold shimmer dust, optional
→ Garnish
09 -
6 to 8 peach ring gummy candies
10 -
Mini lollipop sticks or cocktail picks, optional
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Pour light corn syrup or honey onto a small plate. In a separate shallow dish, combine coarse sugar with optional edible glitter or shimmer dust. Dip the rim of each shot glass into the corn syrup or honey, gently rotating to evenly coat. Immediately dip the coated rim into the sugar mixture, ensuring the entire edge is covered. Set glasses aside and allow rims to dry slightly for several minutes.
02 -
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add peach schnapps, vodka, orange juice or lemon-lime soda, and simple syrup. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds until the shaker exterior is cold. Strain mixture evenly into prepared shot glasses, filling each just below the sugared rim. If using lemon-lime soda, stir gently over ice in a mixing glass rather than shaking to retain carbonation.
03 -
Place a peach ring gummy candy on the sugared rim of each shot glass. Alternatively, thread each candy onto a mini lollipop stick or cocktail pick, setting it across the top for a ring pop presentation. Serve shots immediately.

Rim the shot glasses up to an hour in advance; store upright in a cool place to prevent the sugar from melting. Adjust sweetness by altering simple syrup amount to taste preference.
