This Barbie Shot is a fun, easy to make pink shot recipe that is great for a Barbie-themed party. All you need are 4 simple ingredients and less than 5 minutes to whip up a batch.

This shot is called a “Barbie” shot because of its pink color and fruity flavor, but there are a lot of other shots recipes that are also pink and would work for a Barbie or pink-themed event.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Pink — These Barbie shots are a perfect pink color that makes them great for any pink-themed party. 
• Fruity — The combination of coconut rum, orange and cranberry juice give these shots a delicious, fruity flavor. 
• Great for a Crowd — These shots are easy to make for a large group of people in just a few minutes.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Cranberry Juice: Regular red cranberry juice will combine nicely with the orange juice to give these shots a pink color. However, for an even stronger pink color, try pink cranberry juice instead.
• Malibu: Use Malibu or another type of coconut rum for this recipe to give these shots a tropical flavor. As a substitute, you can use white rum and add a dash of coconut simple syrup for the coconut flavor. 
• Vodka: Use whatever type of vodka you have on hand. If you have it, a citrus flavored vodka (raspberry, orange, lemon, etc.) would work nicely for this shot, but it is not necessary. 
• Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice will always taste better than store bought juice, but for a shot recipe (as opposed to a cocktail that you are sipping), store bought juice works perfectly well.

How To Make A Barbie Shot

Step 1: Add the cranberry juice, Malibu, orange juice and vodka to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

Step 2: Shake well and strain into a shot or shooter glass.

Expert Tips

• Use Barbie-themed shot glasses. If you are serving these shots at a Barbie party, try serving them in these Barbie Shot Glasses.
• Make a variation. These Barbie shots are a pretty forgiving recipe. You can easily substitute one or two of the ingredients and still have a delicious shot. Try replacing the orange juice with another tropical juice, such as mango or pineapple. 
• Use pink cranberry juice. For the pinkest shots, use pink cranberry juice, and if needed, slightly reduce the amount of orange juice. The combination of cranberry juice and orange juice is what makes the pink color.
