Watermelon Jolly Rancher Shot
Watermelon vodka in a vivid red-pink shot that tastes exactly like the watermelon Jolly Rancher candy — concentrated candy-sweetness, not fresh fruit.

The Watermelon Jolly Rancher Shot specifically targets the watermelon flavor of the Jolly Rancher candy line — the variety that, alongside green apple, has consistently ranked as one of the most popular flavors in the Jolly Rancher lineup since its introduction by the Stott family in Golden, Colorado in 1949. The watermelon Jolly Rancher's flavor profile is distinctly different from fresh watermelon: more intensely sweet, with a slightly chemical freshness that the shot recreates using watermelon schnapps or watermelon vodka combined with regular vodka and sometimes a citrus element. The neon red-pink color and unmistakably candy-sweet flavor made it one of the most consistent sellers among the various Jolly Rancher shot variations that proliferated in American bars during the early 2000s.
