Lemon bars with creamsicle shot

Lemon bars
For the crust
1/2 pound butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon of salt

For the filling
6 extra-large eggs at room temperature
3 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup flour

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix the butter and sugar together until fully creamed. Combine the flour and salt, and mix together. Once mixed, stir into the butter and sugar mixture and stir until fully mixed. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough into a 13x9 baking pan and chill. Once chilled, bake it for 15-20 minutes until just lightly browned. Let it cool

Whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour. Pour over the crust and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the filling is set. Let it cool to room temperature, cut, and serve.

Creamsicle shot
1/2 measure vodka or citrus vodka
1/2 measure triple sec
1 full measure orange juice
1 full measure cream

Ingredients are listed as "measures" so you can scale this drink up or down as you see fit. Mix all ingredients together with ice. Strain into shot glasses.
