Ingredients List
Main Ingredients:
- 1 oz cinnamon whiskey (such as Fireball)
- 1 oz RumChata
Optional Add-Ins and Garnishes:
- Cinnamon-Sugar Rim: Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for rimming the shot glass.
- Cinnamon Stick: Use a small cinnamon stick as a garnish for an extra touch of spice.
- Crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal: For a playful twist, crush some Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and use it to rim the glass or sprinkle on top of the shot.
- Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the shot for a creamy finish.
Instructions
- Prepare the Glasses: Start by preparing the cinnamon-sugar rim. On a small plate, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon. Moisten the rim of your shot glass with water or simple syrup, then dip it into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating the rim evenly. Set the glass aside.
- Measure the Ingredients: Using a jigger, measure 1 oz of cinnamon whiskey and 1 oz of RumChata. Pour both into a cocktail shaker.
- Shake It Up: Add ice to the shaker, then shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This chills the ingredients and blends the flavors.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared shot glass, taking care not to disturb the cinnamon-sugar rim.
- Garnish and Enjoy: If desired, garnish with a small cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Experiment with Variations: The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot can be easily adapted to suit your preferences. Try using a different cream liqueur, like Bailey’s Irish Cream, for a slightly different flavor profile. You can also experiment with other flavored whiskeys or add a splash of vanilla extract for extra sweetness.
- Serve Immediately: This shot is best enjoyed fresh. The creamy texture and balanced flavors are most pronounced when served immediately after mixing. If you’re making multiple shots for a party, prepare them just before serving to ensure they’re at their best.
- Garnish Creatively: Don’t be afraid to get creative with your garnishes. Beyond the cinnamon-sugar rim, you can top the shot with whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, or even a dusting of cocoa powder for a richer flavor.
