Ingredients
Scale
For the Cocktail
- 3 ounces Baileys Irish Cream
- 3 ounces vanilla vodka
- 2 ounces half & half or whole milk
- 2 ounces amaretto
For Garnish
- White icing (for rimming the glasses)
- Christmas Jimmies sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rims: Use a butter knife to spread a thin, even layer of white icing around the rims of each shot glass to help the sprinkles stick.
- Apply Sprinkles: Pour Christmas Jimmies sprinkles into a small bowl. Gently press the frosted rims of each glass into the sprinkles until fully coated. To avoid wiping off the icing, press, lift, and rotate the glass instead of twisting it in the sprinkles.
- Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine the Baileys Irish Cream, vanilla vodka, half-and-half (or whole milk), and amaretto.
- Shake or Stir: Give the mixture a gentle shake or stir until all ingredients are well combined and chilled.
- Serve: Strain the cocktail evenly into the sprinkle-rimmed shot glasses. Raise a toast and enjoy your festive Christmas Sugar Cookie Shots!
Notes
- You can substitute half & half with whole milk for a lighter version.
- For best results, chill the cocktail shaker and glasses before mixing and serving.
- Use vanilla vodka to enhance the sugar cookie flavor but plain vodka can be used as a substitute if necessary.
- Make sure to gently press the sprinkles onto the icing to avoid removing the frosting.
- These shots are best served immediately to maintain the cold temperature and fresh garnish.
