With its main ingredients being 1 1/2 oz of Green Apple Vodka and 1 1/2 oz of Roses Sour Apple Mix, this shot delivers a burst of fruity and tart flavors that are both refreshing and exhilarating. The combination of green apple vodka and sour apple mix creates a harmonious blend that is reminiscent of biting into a crisp, juicy apple with a sour twist, making it a favorite choice for those who enjoy a little zing in their drinks.
The origins of the Sour Lollishot, like many modern cocktails, are somewhat unclear, but it likely emerged during the late 20th or early 21st century when flavored vodkas and sour mixes became increasingly popular in bars and clubs. This era saw a rise in creative and playful cocktail inventions, with bartenders experimenting with bold flavors and vibrant colors to create memorable drinking experiences. The Sour Lollishot fits perfectly within this trend, offering a fun and nostalgic nod to childhood candies while delivering an adult twist with its vodka base.
