If you can’t get enough of candy, then you might enjoy some sweet candy-inspired shots. While the thought of party shots tends to send most of our minds spinning back to vodka jello, there’s no reason you can’t create a fun and tasty dessert style shot by mixing your ingredients carefully. As with many dessert cocktails, the key is to get the texture right — you’ll want to use thicker syrups or dairy ingredients to give your sweet drinks a rich, creamy texture that feels fun and indulgent rather than thin and overly sweet.

Another great trick to elevate your sweet cocktails is to add just a tiny dash of salt, as this helps to balance out sweet flavors. Peanut butter whiskey brand Skrewball has suggestions for two candy-inspired shots that blend the salty and nutty flavors of peanut butter with classic sweet ingredients like chocolate syrup, caramel, and a fun candy garnish to create party shots that capture all the fun of candy but with an adult edge, perfect for the season of indulgence.

If you're unsure where to start, then craft sake brand Origami Sake has some suggested recipes to try, from delicate florals for spring from lavender syrup to a fun margarita variation which uses sake instead of tequila. There's also an unusual mocktail option which combines sophisticated flavors with Origami's non-alcoholic sake, making use of lots of fresh fruit juices to add zing and flavor.
