Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz peach schnapps
  • 2 oz vodka (vanilla or citrus optional for extra flavor)
  • 2 oz orange juice or lemon-lime soda (for balance and brightness)
  • ½ oz simple syrup (adjust to sweetness)
  • Ice (for shaking)
  • 1 tbsp light corn syrup or honey (to stick)
  • 2 tbsp coarse sugar (white, yellow, or orange for that “candy ring” look)
  • Optional: a pinch of edible glitter or gold dust in the sugar mix
  • 68 peach ring gummy candies (the classic kind!)
  • Mini lollipop sticks or cocktail picks (optional for 'ring pop' effect)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glasses: Begin by dipping the rims of each shot glass into light corn syrup or honey. This should take about 1 minute. Ensure the syrup coats evenly; a common mistake is not fully covering the rim, which can lead to sugar not sticking.
  2. Coat the rims with sugar: On a plate, spread out your coarse sugar (and glitter, if using). Roll the syrup-coated rims into the sugar until well coated, about 10 seconds per glass. Let them set for 5 minutes to firm up, ensuring the sugar adheres properly.
  3. Mix the shots: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, leaving enough space for the liquid. This should take about 1 minute. Add 6 oz of peach schnapps, 2 oz of vodka, 2 oz of orange juice or lemon-lime soda, and ½ oz of simple syrup. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the mixture is chilled and well combined. Look for condensation on the shaker as a sign it’s chilled.
  4. Strain into prepared shot glasses: Open the shaker and use a strainer to pour the mixture into the sugar-rimmed shot glasses. Aim to fill each glass about three-quarters full. This should take about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overfill, as it can lead to spills.
  5. Add the garnish: Finally, place one peach ring candy over the rim of each glass, or thread them onto mini lollipop sticks and rest them across the top for a whimsical “ring pop” effect. This should take about 2 minutes. Make sure the candy sits securely; if it falls, it can create a mess.

Keywords: Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Chill your shot glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving for a colder shot. Adjust sweetness carefully when adding simple syrup.
