Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

If you want to add a sweet touch, start by preparing your shot glass with a red sugar rim. To do this, moisten the rim of your shot glass with a bit of water or lemon juice, then dip it into red sugar. This adds a fun, festive flair.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine the cinnamon whiskey, cherry liqueur (or grenadine), and cranberry juice. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the ingredients are well-mixed and chilled.

Step 3: Strain and Serve

Strain the chilled mixture into your prepared shot glass. If you’ve used a sugared rim, be careful not to disturb it while pouring.

Step 4: Garnish and Enjoy

For a sweet final touch, garnish with a candy heart or other fun decoration on top of the shot. Serve immediately and enjoy the fiery, sweet combo!
