Equipment

  •  Shot glasses
  • Cocktail shaker

Ingredients

  • 1 oz vodka
  • Ice
  • 1 oz tangerine and lime juice mix
  • dash Lemon-lime soda
  • 2 lime wedges for garnish
  • 1 oz peach schnapps

Instructions

  • Prepare the shot glasses- To ensure your cactus cooler shots remain perfectly chilled, start by placing the shot glasses in the freezer for approximately 10 minutes. Freezing the shot glasses beforehand will keep your drink cold and refreshing until it is ready to be served.
  • Gather all ingredients- Before beginning the preparation process, gather all necessary ingredients and equipment. This will make the process smoother and more efficient.
  • Combine ingredients in a shaker- In a cocktail shaker, add ice, vodka, tangerine lime juice mix, and peach schnapps. Give it a vigorous shake until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Strain into chilled shot glasses- Remove the shot glasses from the freezer and strain the mixture into them. Be careful not to overfill, leaving enough room for a splash of lemon-lime soda.
  • Add a burst of fizz- Top off each shot with a dash of lemon-lime soda. This will add a refreshing effervescence and balance out the tartness of the citrus juices.
  • Enhance with a zesty garnish- Complete your cactus cooler shots by adding a wedge of lime on the rim of each glass. This not only adds extra flavor but also elevates the appearance of your drink. Serve immediately and savor every sip!

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add a splash of tequila to the mix.
  • To make this shot non-alcoholic, simply omit the vodka and peach schnapps and replace them with lemon-lime soda.
  • To make a larger batch, simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you desire.
  • If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a mason jar or any other container with a tight-fitting lid to shake the ingredients together.
