Take a lemon wedge and wipe along the rim of your shot glasses and rim with sugar for garnish.

Pro Tip: For an extra tart twist, add a dash of cranberry juice to each shot glass before serving.
If you don’t have simple syrup on hand, you can easily make your own by boiling 1 part sugar and 1 part water until the sugar has dissolved. Let the mixture cool completely before using.
Serve chilled or frozen for a fun twist on the traditional shot.
