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 effectively.
- Apply Sprinkles: Pour Christmas Jimmies sprinkles into a small bowl. Gently press the frosted rims of each glass into the sprinkles until fully coated. To avoid wiping off the icing, press, lift, and rotate the glass instead of twisting it in the sprinkles.
- Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine the Baileys Irish Cream, vanilla vodka, half-and-half (or whole milk), and amaretto ensuring all ingredients are ready for mixing.
- Shake or Stir: Give the mixture a gentle shake or stir until all ingredients are well combined and chilled, creating a smooth and creamy cocktail.
- Serve: Strain the cocktail evenly into the sprinkle-rimmed shot glasses. Raise a toast and enjoy your festive Christmas Sugar Cookie Shots!
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 the icing.
- These shots are best served immediately for optimal freshness and flavor.
