For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dill or a splash of horseradish to the borscht before chilling. Adjust the amount of sugar and lemon juice to your personal preference. The goal is a balance of sweet and sour. These shooters can be prepared a day in advance, making them perfect for entertaining. For a vegan option, substitute the sour cream with a plant-based alternative.
