Use cranberry juice in place of fruit punch for a tarter, more grown-up vibe.
Make it a slush shot by blending with crushed ice or serving over a mini scoop of raspberry sorbet.
Turn it into a full cocktail by doubling the ingredients and topping with club soda for a bubbly kick!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular fruit punch instead of concentrate?

Yes! But try to choose one that’s bold and flavorful (like Hawaiian Punch) so it doesn’t get diluted by the ice.

Is this shot super sour?

It’s balanced, but definitely has a sour kick. The fruit punch and vodka smooth it out. You can reduce the Raspberry Pucker if you’re sensitive to tartness.Can I make this as a batch for a party?

Absolutely! Multiply the ingredients by however many servings you want and serve in a pitcher or shaker over ice.
