Sunset Shot
The Sunset Shot by Tipsy Bartender is an easy layered shot with a fruity flavor. It starts with a base of coconut rum where you’ll add equal parts watermelon schnapps and pineapple juice.
Shake up those ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and strain into a shot glass. Once you have done that, add a few drops of grenadine. It will drop down to the bottom and create a beautiful layered effect.
Pink Starburst Shot
These pink Starburst shots by Razzle Dazzle Life are fun and taste just like a pink Starburst! Start by rimming a shot glass with pink sugar. Then combine vanilla vodka, watermelon pucker, and sweet and sour mix. Shake over ice to chill and pour into your shot glasses. You can also add a pink Starburst to the rim for some extra flair. These make for the perfect girl’s night or bachelorette party shooter!
Watermelon Lemonade Jello Shots

Watermelon Drop Recipe
My Gourmet Connection has created a Watermelon Drop recipe that is exceptionally easy and perfect for summer. Simply add refrigerated watermelon pucker and chilled Absolut Citron to a shot glass and garnish with a lemon wedge.
If the ingredients are not already chilled, you can add ice to a shaker and chill them yourself or just stick them in the fridge for a bit. To make this watermelon drop into a mixed drink, try adding some club soda or lemon-lime soda.
Blue Hooter
By Drink Lab
The Blue Hooter by Drink Lab is another easy shooter recipe, but this one has a lower alcohol content, so you can have more! The Blue Hooter consists of two ingredients, just watermelon pucker and grape schnapps which means there is hardly any prep time.
This is also one of those recipes for those who don’t like the taste of liquor because all you’ll taste with this one is the fruit!
Red-Headed Stepchild Recipe
Though this Red-Headed Stepchild recipe by Crystal Mixer is technically a mixed drink, it can be made into a shooter just by keeping the ratios but in a lower volume.
To make this recipe, you’ll need an interesting combination of ingredients, though we promise it all works together in the end. Combine Jagermeister, watermelon pucker, and fruit punch and shake over ice, then strain it into the glass of your choice.
Easy Watermelon Jello Shots
These Easy Watermelon Jello Shots from Entertaining Diva are similar to the Watermelon Lemonade jello shots from above but require fewer ingredients. For these, you’ll only need watermelon pucker, vodka, fresh lime juice, and Jolly Rancher watermelon gelatin.
Here’s a little tip from Entertaining Diva as well– serve your fruity Jello shots with mini spoons to make them easy to eat!
Mexican Candy Shot
You might have never thought that one of your favorite shooter or cocktail recipes would contain hot sauce, but this Mexican Candy Shot by Home Cooked Harvest could just change your mind.
For this one, start by rimming your glass with lime juice and Taijin. Then, combine tequila, watermelon pucker, and a couple of dashes of hot sauce in a shaker with ice. Strain into your rimmed glasses and top with a lime or watermelon wedge for garnish! You won’t ever forget this shooter!
Magic Pixie Cocktail
Though the Magic Pixie Cocktail from Cocktail Builder is a mixed drink, it works great as a shooter as well. It contains a whole fruit cocktail of liqueurs, including sour apple schnapps or apple pucker, watermelon pucker, and peach schnapps.
It also has lemon-lime soda and cranberry juice. Just make sure you shake the liqueurs separately so as to not shake out the bubbles, but this one is a wonderful combination.
