👩🍳 How to Make Lipstick Jungle Shots
Step 1: Make the Pink Layer
In a shaker with ice, combine:
- Vodka
- Cranberry juice
- Strawberry syrup (or grenadine)
- Lime juice
Shake well until chilled.
Strain into shot glasses, filling halfway.
Step 2: Make the Green Layer
In a clean shaker with ice, combine:
- Midori (or melon syrup)
- Pineapple juice
- Vodka
- Lime juice
Shake until cold.
Step 3: Layer the Shots
Slowly pour the green mixture over the back of a spoon onto the pink layer.
This creates the signature “jungle lipstick” effect.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Top with:
- Lime slice or strawberry
- Optional sugar rim for sparkle
Serve immediately while chilled
💡 Tips for Perfect Layered Shots
- Pour the green layer very slowly for clean separation
- Chill everything beforehand for sharper layers
- Use a spoon to control the flow
- Heavier syrup (grenadine) helps the bottom layer stay stable
