Pink Starburst Shots: The Ultimate Party Drink for Your Bachelorette Weekend

Let’s be honest: the pink Starburst is the one everyone fights over — so why not turn that into a drinkable moment?

Whether you’re hosting a full-blown bachelorette bash or just need something fun for a cozy girls’ night in, these Pink Starburst Shots are easy, cute, and shockingly delicious.

They taste exactly like the candy (yes, the pink one), go down smooth, and take less than 5 minutes to whip up.

Let’s make a round, shall we?

What Makes This shot so good?

Here’s why these are always a hit:

• They’re sweet, creamy, and fruity — no harsh alcohol taste

• The color is peak party-core (hello, pink aesthetic)

• They’re quick to make and easy to batch

• Perfect for bachelorette weekends, birthday pre-games, or any “hot girl hangout”

Ingredients you’ll need:

To make one round of shots (about 4–6 small shot glasses), you’ll need:

• 1 oz Vanilla Vodka – smooth and sweet

• 1 oz Watermelon Pucker – for that tart, juicy kick

• 1 oz Sweet & Sour Mix – balances everything out

• 1 oz Whipped Cream Vodka – brings the creamy, candy flavor

• Splash of Sprite or Lemon-Lime Soda – for a fizzy finish

• Optional: Pink Starburst or mini skewers for garnish ✨

How to make pink starburst shots

It’s as easy as shake, pour, party. Here’s what to do:

1. Fill a shaker with ice.

2. Add all ingredients except the soda — vanilla vodka, watermelon pucker, sweet & sour mix, and whipped cream vodka.

3. Shake it up for 15–20 seconds until it’s nice and cold.

4. Strain into shot glasses (or cute little mini cups if you’re doing a big batch).

5. Top with a splash of Sprite for a fizzy finish.

6. Garnish with a pink Starburst or drink topper if you’re feeling extra.

🎉 Cheers to shots that taste like candy but go down like a dream.

Bachelorette party serving tips

Batch it: 

Multiply the ingredients for a big shaker or pour into a pitcher and chill until you’re ready to serve.

Serve it with a candy rim:

Dip your shot glass rims in corn syrup or simple syrup and then into crushed pink Starbursts or pink sanding sugar.

Color Coordinate:

Serve these in pink plastic cups or mini glass shooters for that Instagrammable moment.

Can you make this as a cocktail?

Absolutely! Just double the recipe, shake with ice, and serve over ice in a cocktail glass with a splash of Sprite or club soda on top. Garnish with a pink Starburst or a fun straw.

Perfect if you want the flavor but don’t want to do back-to-back shots (👀 we get it).
