Creating the perfect Mexican Candy Shot is easier than you think. With a few ingredients and some simple steps, you’ll be serving up these delightful shots in no time. Whether it’s for a party or just a cool experiment at home, this recipe is your ticket to a fun time.
Ingredients
- 1 oz tequila (choose your favorite!)
- 1/2 oz watermelon schnapps
- A splash of lime juice
- A pinch of chili powder
- A dash of hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- Salt for the rim
Preparation Steps
- Rim the Shot Glass: First, you’ll want to prepare your shot glasses. Rub the rim of each glass with a lime slice, then dip it into a small plate of salt. This gives you that classic, salty kick with each sip.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a shaker, combine the tequila, watermelon schnapps, and lime juice. Add a tiny bit of hot sauce and chili powder. Remember, a little goes a long way with these!
- Shake Well: Secure the lid on your shaker and give it a good shake. You want to make sure everything is mixed well and nicely chilled.
- Serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared shot glasses. They’re now ready to enjoy!
Recipe Tips and Variations
- Adjust the Heat: Not everyone likes their shots super spicy. Feel free to play around with the amount of hot sauce and chili powder until you find the perfect balance for you.
- Try Different Flavors: If watermelon isn’t your thing, experiment with other schnapps flavors. Peach or mango can also make for a delicious shot.
- Make It a Mocktail: For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the tequila with a splash of sparkling water or lemonade. You’ll still get all the fun flavors without the alcohol.
