A Delicious, Boozy Dessert Shot

We love serving dessert cocktails instead of dessert. Sometimes we even serve them alongside dessert!

It really depends on the party, or the type of meal that you served. And sometimes we just like to give our friends the options of having a little sweet, boozy shot and/or something like an apple crisp or a fruit pie for dessert.

You can even make your dessert drinks to resemble the flavor of your favorite dessert like a Pumpkin Cheesecake Martini or this fan favorite, a Toasted Almond Cocktail that tastes just like that retro ice cream truck dessert we all loved – and still do.

What Ingredients Do I Need To Make This Hard Cider Ice Cream Shot?

These days we can find apple cider year round at the grocery store, but if you have a hard time finding it just use a high quality apple juice or better yet, and unfiltered apple juice.

Apple Cider: Like we mentioned above, apple cider is pretty available year round, but my next choice would be an unfiltered apple cider.

Vanilla Ice Cream: Good old fashioned vanilla ice cream! But you can totally have fun and play around with the ice cream here, try chocolate or praline or any flavor that you think might go well with the flavors in this shot recipe.

Whiskey: We used plain whiskey, but you can try an apple flavored or a caramel flavored whiskey too!
