Begin by rimming the shot glass with pink sugar. I didn’t have any pink sugar or sprinkles, so I just colored the sugar pink with a drop of food coloring.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine vanilla vodka, watermelon pucker, and sour mix. Shake for 10-15 seconds until well chilled.
Pour into prepared shot glass. Garnish rim with pink starburst or use cocktail pick.
