Batch Option (for 12 shots / 4 scoring events)
Method
Basic Shot Preparation (makes 3 shots)
Prepare salt rim (optional)
If using salt, rub a lime wedge around the rim of each shot glass and dip rim in a small plate of coarse salt. Set glasses aside.
Mix the shot
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup). Pour in 3 oz vodka, 1.5 oz triple sec, 1.5 oz cranberry juice, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Strain and serve
Strain the mixture into the 3 prepared shot glasses, filling each equally (about 1.5 oz per glass). Garnish each with a lime wedge on the rim or served alongside.
Drink responsibly
Serve immediately — for the watch party rule, take one shot per person every time a team scores. Pace drinking and provide water and food for guests.
Batch Preparation (makes 12 shots)
Chill batch
Fill a large pitcher with 4 cups of ice. Add 12 oz vodka, 6 oz triple sec, 6 oz cranberry juice, and 2 oz fresh lime juice.
Stir and rest
Stir the mixture thoroughly for 20–30 seconds to chill and combine. Let rest for 1–2 minutes so flavors meld and mixture chills through.
Prepare glasses and serve
If desired, rim shot glasses with salt. Strain the chilled mixture from the pitcher into 12 shot glasses (about 1 oz per shot glass). Garnish with lime wedges and keep pitcher on ice to top up between scoring events.
Safety note
Monitor alcohol consumption during the event. Offer non-alcoholic alternatives and ensure guests have safe transportation if needed.
