Ingredients
Main Ingredients
-
1 oz butterscotch schnapps – Provides the signature buttery caramel flavor.
-
1 oz Irish cream liqueur – Adds creaminess and hints of chocolate and coffee.
-
½ oz vodka – Balances sweetness with a subtle kick of alcohol.
-
½ oz heavy cream – Creates a velvety smooth texture and rich finish.
Garnish
-
Caramel drizzle – Adds both sweetness and presentation.
-
Crushed toffee – Enhances the toffee theme and gives a delightful crunch.
Instructions
Step 1: Chill the Shot Glasses
Begin by placing your shot glasses in the freezer for about 5–10 minutes. Chilled glasses ensure the drink stays cold and enhance the creamy texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Garnish
-
Swirl caramel drizzle along the inside of the shot glass for a decorative touch.
-
For extra flair, dip the rim in caramel sauce and then into crushed toffee for a crunchy finish.
Step 3: Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the butterscotch schnapps, Irish cream, vodka, and heavy cream.
Step 4: Shake Well
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds. The ice chills the mixture while blending the cream smoothly with the spirits.
Step 5: Strain and Pour
Strain the liquid into your prepared shot glasses. The caramel drizzle should create elegant streaks inside the glass.
Step 6: Add the Final Garnish
Sprinkle a small amount of crushed toffee on top. For extra indulgence, add a light drizzle of caramel before serving.
Notes
The Sticky Toffee Shot is designed to mimic dessert flavors while maintaining the lightness of a cocktail. It should be made fresh and consumed quickly to enjoy the full creaminess and cold temperature. If left to sit, the cream can separate, and the caramel garnish may begin to melt, so timing is key.
