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.
If you do have some leftover Orange Tic Tac Shots, we recommend drinking them within an hour or two of making them. Alternatively, you can also store them in the fridge for up to a day before drinking.
Can pregnant women eat this?
No, pregnant women should not consume alcohol, so it is best to avoid this drink if you are pregnant. It is also important to note that even small amounts of alcohol can be dangerous for pregnant women. As such, we recommend avoiding all alcoholic beverages during pregnancy.

Will this drink get me drunk?
It depends on your body weight and how much alcohol is in the drink. Generally, it takes about two shots of vodka to get most people drunk, so if you are drinking a large amount of this drink or topping it off with extra alcohol, then yes, it could make you drunk. 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.
