Ingredients:

  • 1.5 oz cake flavored vodka
  • 0.5 oz Frangelico hazelnut liqueur
  • 1 oz white chocolate liqueur
  • 1 tbsp vanilla frosting
  • 2 tbsp rainbow nonpareil sprinkles
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt
  • 1 cup ice

Instructions:

  1. Smear a thin layer of the vanilla frosting onto one saucer. On the second saucer, spread your rainbow nonpareils in an even layer. Invert your shot glass and press it firmly into the frosting, rotating slightly to ensure full coverage.
  2. Lift the glass from the frosting and immediately press it into the sprinkles. Note: Work quickly here so the frosting doesn't slide down the glass. The goal is a crisp, colorful crown that looks professional.
  3. Add the ice to your cocktail shaker. Pour in the 1.5 oz cake flavored vodka, followed by the 0.5 oz Frangelico and 1 oz white chocolate liqueur.
  4. Drop in that single pinch of sea salt. Chef: This step is non negotiable if you want the shot to taste like high end pastry rather than a candy bar.
  5. Seal the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. You want the outside of the tin to feel frosty and painful to hold. This ensures the liquids are fully emulsified.
  6. Strain the mixture slowly into your two prepared shot glasses. Note: Pour into the center of the glass to avoid knocking the sprinkles off the rim.
  7. If the liquid doesn't reach the very top, that's okay. The frosting rim provides enough visual height. Serve immediately while the liquid is still smoking cold.
  8. Encourage your guests to lick a bit of the frosting before knocking back the liquid. This primes the palate for the buttery notes of the vodka.
