Notes
Once assembled, these shots are best served immediately. However, if you are having a large party, you can premix a large batch of shots (tequila, watermelon schnapps and hot sauce) and store in a large jar with a lid until you are ready to serve. I recommend chilling the mixture so it’s extra cold when you go to serve it, but it is also good at room temperature.
