Instructions:

- Take a lime or lemon wedge and wipe along the rim of your shot glasses and rim with warhead powder you just prepared.
- Fill your shaker tin with ice and add both your liquid ingredients.
- Take 1 unwrapped Warhead Candy and place this in your shaker tin.
- Shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds. (We want to get a good shake here but note were shaking just to remove the outer layer of sour from the candy, no need to crush or shake until it’s dissolved).
- Strain into your shot glass and enjoy!
Pro Tips:
If you want your shot to be a little sweeter, you can always add in a splash of simple syrup.
Extra sour? Ok! Before your shake process feel free to toss in a few extra Warhead candies, this is sure to kick this drink up a notch.
Too Sour? Try this recipe on ice in a rocks glass, top it off with a splash of sprite for the perfect fruity tart cocktail.
