How to store leftover Orange Tic Tac Shot?
Unfortunately, this drink cannot be stored for more than a few hours. The citrus juice in it will start to break down the alcohol and can make it taste sour.

Will this drink get me drunk?
It depends on your body weight and how much alcohol is in the drink.

Be sure to drink responsibly and in moderation.
Can I have it on the keto diet?
No, this drink is not suitable for a keto diet due to the high sugar content from the sour mix and pineapple juice. However, if you are looking for a low-carb alternative, you can use vodka with club soda or seltzer as your base instead of adding the other ingredients.
