Christmas Sugar Cookie Shot Recipe

  • Yield: 4 shots (2 ounces each)
  • Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 Ounces Bailey’s Irish Cream

  • 2 Ounces Amaretto
  • White Icing
  • Christmas Sprinkles
A selection of spirits and ingredients including amaretto, vodka, Baileys, frosting, sprinkles, and milk on a white surface.

Using a knife, spread a thin layer of frosting around the rim of each of the shot glasses.

A hand holds a glass, applying white frosting to its rim with a knife. A red cloth and empty glasses are visible in the background.

Fill a small bowl with Christmas sprinkles. Gently press the rim of each shot glass into the sprinkles until it’s fully covered all the way around.

Be sure not twist the shot glass in the sprinkles, but rather press it in, lift the shot glass, rotate slightly, and then press the uncovered portion of the rim into the sprinkles again.

In a cocktail shaker, add the Bailey’s, vodka, half n half, and amaretto. If your spirits are not already chilled, add a couple ice cubes to the shaker when mixing.
