Apple Pie Shot Recipe Ingredients
WHIPPED CREAM VODKA: A flavored sweet vodka that tastes similar to whipped cream and mixes perfectly with the cinnamon.
FIREBALL CINNAMON WHISKY: A spicy cinnamon flavor whiskey that adds a little heat to the drink.
APPLE CIDER: The crisp taste of apples that make it feel like a fall cocktail.
WHIPPED CREAM: Adds sweetness and a creamy texture on top of the shot.
GROUND CINNAMON: Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
CINNAMON STICKS (optional): Use short cinnamon sticks to perch on the side of the shot glass for a pretty garnish.
How to Make an Apple Pie Shot
This easy recipe fits in a 2 oz shot glass.
STEP 1: Add 1 ounce of apple cider.
STEP 2: Pour in 1/2 ounce of Fireball.
STEP 3: Fill the rest of the shot glass with 1/2 ounce of Whipped Cream Vodka.
STEP 4: Top with whipped cream. It’s easiest to use whipped cream in a can. Then sprinkle with ground cinnamon and garnish with a cinnamon stick.
Variations and Substitutions
- Use Spiced Apple Cider for a spicier flavor. It has more of the baking spice flavors than regular apple cider.
- You can substitute apple cider with apple juice.
- Instead of ground cinnamon, use cinnamon sugar for a sweeter shot.
Can I Use Regular Vodka?
If you don’t have Whipped Cream Vodka, you can use Vanilla Vodka or Regular Vodka in this easy apple pie shot recipe.
If you use regular vodka, it will have a less sweet flavor. I would suggest adding 2-4 drops of Simple Syrup to the mix to bring up the sweetness to your tastes.
An Apple Pie Shot is the perfect fall drink to enjoy with friends. The sweetness of the apple cider is balanced by the spices of the cinnamon and vanilla, making it a refreshing and delicious shot.
Cheers!
