Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shots
Who says cereal is just for breakfast? This Cinnamon Toast Crunch shot is the ultimate dessert shot with creamy RumChata, cinnamon whisky, and a crunchy cereal rim.
Servings: 1
Equipment
- Shot Glasses 2-Ounce
Ingredients
For the Cereal-Infused RumChata (makes enough for 6 shots)
- 1 Cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
- 1 Cup RumChata liqueur
For the Rims
- ½ Teaspoon vanilla frosting
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal coarsely crushed
For the Shots
- ice
- 1½ Ounces Cereal-Infused RumChata see recipe above
- ½ Ounce Fireball whisky or similar cinnamon whisky
Instructions
Make the Cereal-Infused RumChata
- In an easy-to-pour container, such as a measuring cup, add Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Pour RumChata over top of the dry cereal, stirring to cover. Allow to soak for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to assure the floating pieces also get infused.
- Using a strainer or cheesecloth, strain the infused RumChata into a container. Make sure to really squeeze the cereal to get out all of the alcohol that you can. You should end up with about 7 ounces of liquid. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Assemble the Shots
- Spread vanilla frosting on the rim of your 2 ounce shot glass. Place the cereal pieces around the rim until it resembles a mosaic. Another quicker option is just to dip the frosting-covered rim into the crushed cereal pieces. Though it doesn’t look as perfect, if you’re making several shots, it could save you a lot of time.
- Fill a shaker about halfway with ice. Add Cereal-Infused RumChata and cinnamon whisky. Shake for about 20 seconds or until chilled through. Pour into prepared shot glass.
Notes
Prep in advance: You can prepare these cinnamon toast crunch fireball and rum milk shots up to a week in advance. Just remember not to add the ice to the mixture. Keep it sealed in a container in the refrigerator and give it a good shake before serving.
Choose the right glass: For these shots, I find that 2-ounce shot glasses work best. However, feel free to serve them in smaller or larger glasses according to your preference. The important thing is to make sure that your guests can easily enjoy this tasty treat without any spills.
Use fresh cereal: Stale cereal won’t infuse well or hold its crunch.
Shake well: This ensures the shot is chilled and well combined.
Chill your glasses: A cold shot glass makes the drink even more refreshing.
