???? 1 oz RumChata – creamy cinnamon-vanilla liqueur with cereal milk vibes
???? 0.5 oz Blue Curaçao – citrusy sweet with bold color
???? 0.5 oz lemon vodka – brings out the tart cereal notes

Preparation:

Step 1:
If using a cereal rim, crush Fruit Loops or Fruity Pebbles and place on a small plate. Dip shot glasses in simple syrup, then coat with cereal crumbs. Chill glasses.

Step 2:
In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes, then pour in 1 oz RumChata, 0.5 oz Blue Curaçao, 0.5 oz lemon vodka, and 0.5 oz Fruity Pebbles vodka (or substitute).

Step 3:
Add a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half for that ultra-creamy mouthfeel. If you want rainbow layers, add a drop of food coloring (optional).

Step 4:
Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to chill and combine.

Step 5:
Strain into prepared shot glasses. Garnish with a mini marshmallow, cereal ring, or rainbow candy on a pick for extra flair.

Variation:

???? Berry Loop Shot: Add strawberry vodka or raspberry schnapps for a red-fruit twist
???? Banana Cereal Milk Shot: Swap lemon vodka for banana liqueur
???? Ice Cream Loop Shooter: Add whipped cream vodka and a whipped topping layer
???? Layered Fruit Loop Shot: Carefully layer blue, yellow, and red colored liqueurs for a rainbow effect
???? Birthday Loop Shot: Rim with rainbow sprinkles and serve with a mini candle on top
???? Mocktail Mini Loop: Use cereal milk, flavored syrups (like orange and berry), and cream for a kid-friendly version

COOKING Note:

These shots aren’t cooked, but proper chilling and technique matter:

Shake well to mix dairy and alcohol for a smooth shot
Don’t overpour—these are potent and rich
Use crushed cereal only at the last second to avoid sogginess
Layering takes patience—use the back of a spoon and pour slowly if doing rainbow swirls
For best results, keep dairy cold and strain immediately after shaking

Serving Suggestions:

Serve on a rainbow tray or mirrored platter for maximum color pop
Pair with mini cereal bowls, milk-and-cookie shooters, or brunch snacks
Offer as a welcome drink at a birthday bash or colorful celebration
Create a “cereal shooter station” with mini boxes of different cereals and flavor pairings
Serve alongside Fruity Pebble pancakes, fruit tarts, or cupcakes

Tips:

???? Use Fruity Pebbles vodka or Loopy Vodka if available—they really make the flavor
???? Always shake with plenty of ice to keep the dairy from warming
???? For magical sparkle, add pearl shimmer liqueur or edible glitter
???? Don’t skip the rim—it adds crunch and nostalgia
???? These work well in mini dessert shot glasses too
???? Take your photos before serving—this one melts fast and looks best fresh
