Notes and Tips

Chill the shot glasses in the freezer, at least 10-15 minutes beforehand.
Do not worry if the lemon-lime soda loses its bubbles. It’s mainly needed for its citrus flavoring. But to keep the bubbles, simply do not mix it in the cocktail shaker. Just leave enough room in each shot glass to later top it with soda.
Feel free to experiment with other fruit schnapps such as apples or watermelon. Another fun switch would be to substitute the pineapple juice with mango juice.
