Ingredients
Scale
For the Shots
- 3 ounces Baileys Irish Cream
- 3 ounces vanilla vodka
- 2 ounces half & half or whole milk
- 2 ounces amaretto
For the Garnish
- White icing (for rimming the glasses)
- Christmas Jimmies sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rims: Use a butter knife to spread a thin, even layer of white icing around the rims of each shot glass to help the sprinkles stick well to the glass.
- Apply Sprinkles: Pour Christmas Jimmies sprinkles into a small bowl. Gently press the frosted rims of each glass into the sprinkles until fully coated, pressing, lifting, and rotating the glass to avoid wiping off the icing.
- Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine the Baileys Irish Cream, vanilla vodka, half & half (or whole milk), and amaretto to create the flavorful base of your shots.
- Shake or Stir: Gently shake or stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and chilled to ensure a smooth, delicious drink.
- Serve: Strain the cocktail evenly into the sprinkle-rimmed shot glasses. Raise a toast and enjoy these festive Christmas Sugar Cookie Shots immediately for best flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute whole milk for half-and-half if you prefer a lighter drink.
- For stronger shots, adjust the amount of vodka and amaretto to taste.
- To make the sprinkles stick better, use slightly chilled glasses before applying icing.
- These shots are best served immediately for optimal freshness and flavor.
- Contains alcohol; please drink responsibly and only if of legal drinking age.
