Pour vodka, watermelon pucker schnapps, sweet and sour mix, heavy cream into a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds.
Pour into shot glasses or cocktail glasses and serve.
Optional: Remove 3-4 pink starbursts from the wrapper and squeeze a little lime juice on top and drink them in the pink sugar! It makes a nice tart sweet treat after throwing back the shot!
To make a large batch
When making a large batch, I recommend adding everything to a blender and blending for 30-40 seconds, until frothy and smooth. Due to the heavy cream, it can tend to separate so it's important to mix well before serving. Also, do not add ice until you are ready to serve.

Notes
If you are using a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes to the shaker cup and strain the starburst shots prior to serving. Do not serve with ice cubes because it will dilute the flavor as they melt.
If you do not have a cocktail shaker, just place everything in a glass cup or container with a lid and shake until everything is mixed and smooth! These pink shots will turn out delicious either way!
If making ahead of time, omit the heavy cream. Add the heavy cream just before serving and be sure to mix thoroughly!
