Ingredients
-
1 oz chocolate liqueur (such as Godiva, Mozart, or crème de cacao)
-
1 oz caramel liqueur (Bailey’s Caramel or any caramel cream liqueur)
-
½ oz vodka (preferably vanilla vodka for added depth and sweetness)
-
Chocolate syrup (for drizzling or garnish)
-
Ice (for shaking)
Optional Garnishes:
-
Crushed Rolos for glass rims
-
Whipped cream topping
-
Cocoa powder or shaved chocolate
-
Caramel drizzle on top
Instructions
Step 1: Chill Your Glass (Optional but Recommended)
Place your shot glasses in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before preparing. A chilled glass enhances the creamy texture and keeps the shot luxuriously cold.
Step 2: Prepare Your Shaker
In a cocktail shaker, add a generous amount of ice. This is essential for chilling and slightly diluting the ingredients to achieve the perfect consistency.
Step 3: Measure and Pour the Liqueurs
Pour 1 oz of chocolate liqueur into the shaker. Follow it with 1 oz of caramel liqueur. Then, add ½ oz of vodka. If you’re using vanilla vodka, it will subtly mimic the nougat-like finish of the candy.
Step 4: Shake Vigorously
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. You want the mixture to be extremely cold and slightly frothy for that luxurious sip.
Step 5: Garnish and Pour
Before pouring, drizzle a thin layer of chocolate syrup along the inside of the shot glass or around the rim. Strain the shaken mixture into the shot glass carefully. Optional: Top with whipped cream, more syrup, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for extra flair.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality liqueurs—cheap chocolate liqueurs can taste syrupy or artificial, while premium brands like Godiva, Mozart, or even a rich crème de cacao bring out a luxurious flavor. The same goes for caramel liqueur—Bailey’s Caramel or homemade caramel cream blends beautifully. If you want to impress, serve this shot with a mini Rolo candy on the rim or resting on a cocktail pick across the top of the glass. Presentation turns this fun shot into an unforgettable dessert experience.
