Anna’s Summer Shot Cocktail is a simple, fruity vodka-based shot recipe that’s light, refreshing, and perfect for warm weather or parties.
Ingredients (for one shot)
- 1 oz Absolut Ruby Red vodka (a grapefruit-flavored vodka that gives it a bright citrus base)
- 1/4 oz lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7-Up for a touch of fizz and sweetness)
- Splash of grapefruit juice
- Splash of orange juice
- Splash of sweet & sour mix (for balanced tartness)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake vigorously.
- Strain and pour into a shot glass.
- Shoot (and repeat as desired!).
It’s designed as a straightforward shooter — no fancy glassware or garnishes mentioned. The combination of Ruby Red vodka with the citrus juices and sweet & sour creates a tangy, slightly sweet, and effervescent flavour profile that’s summery and easy to drink. The small amount of soda adds just a hint of bubbles without turning it into a full cocktail.
This recipe is straightforward and uses common bar ingredients, making it easy to whip up at home.
