You can also serve a classic like mulled wine or this Christmas Cranberry Sangria, but if you’re looking to take your libations up a notch then check out these recipes for a Cranberry Rosemary Cocktail and a decadent Bailey’s Irish Cream White Russian.

Christmas Shots Ingredients

Here’s a list of ingredients for this Christmas shot recipe:

Green Hawaiian Punch: the flavor of mixed berries with strawberries.

Coconut Rum (or other liquor): Coconut rum tastes delicious mixed with berry punch in this shot recipe. You can also use a Light Rum or Vodka in this festive drink.

Corn Syrup: To decorate the rim of the shot glasses, the corn syrup is slightly sweet and will hold the sprinkles to the shot glass.

Christmas Sprinkles: this fun cocktail looks festive with holiday sprinkles.

How to Make Christmas Shots

Grab your shot glass, these are super easy! Here are the step by step directions to make this holiday shots recipe:

Note: This Christmas shot looks best in a tall shot glass. Here are my favorite plastic tall shot glasses on Amazon.

Step 1: Make sure to chill the coconut rum (or vodka) and green punch.

Step 2: Pour corn syrup into a small saucer.

Step 3: Pour holiday sprinkles in a small cup.

Step 4: Dip the rim of each shot glass in the corn syrup.

Step 5: Then roll the wet rim of the shot glass in the sprinkles to create a festive rim.

Step 6: Fill half the shot glass with coconut rum.

Step 7: Fill the rest of the shot glass with green Hawaiian Punch and add a straw for those who want to sip their Christmas Shots instead of drinking it like a shooter.

Optional: If you want to go all out, add whipped cream and more sprinkles on top!
