Notes
- The Rim is a Must: Don't skip the spicy rim! The Tajín or chili-lime seasoning is what truly sells the "Mexican candy" flavor, adding a zesty, savory, and spicy element to the sweet shot.
- Adjust the Heat: You can easily customize the spice level. Use fewer dashes of hot sauce for a milder shot or a hotter variety for a fiery kick.
- Make It a Cocktail: For a full-sized drink, simply double the recipe and serve it over ice in a rocks or highball glass.
- Is this a very strong shot? Yes, this shot is potent. It contains two ounces of liquor, with the sweet and spicy flavors masking its strength. It should be consumed responsibly.
- What does a Mexican Candy Shot taste like? It's a surprising and delicious mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors. You get the prominent watermelon taste, a zesty kick of lime from the Tajín, and a warm, spicy finish from the hot sauce.
