🍮 Caramel Pop Shots 🍦✨
Smooth, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious — Caramel Pop Shots are a velvety blend of butterscotch liqueur and creamy vanilla vodka, layered with caramel drizzle and a candy-coated rim. It’s like sipping a soft, buttery caramel candy with a creamy twist — the kind of indulgent shot that warms you up and leaves you craving more.

🍬 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots):

Shot Mix:

• 1 oz vanilla vodka

• 1 oz butterscotch schnapps or liqueur

• 1 oz Irish cream (optional, for extra creaminess)

• 1 tbsp caramel sauce (plus more for drizzle)

• Small pinch of sea salt (optional, for salted caramel lovers)

• Ice

Rim & Garnish:

• Caramel syrup or melted soft caramel (for rimming)

• Crushed toffee bits, butterscotch candies, or brown sugar

• Whipped cream (optional)

• Mini caramel candy or soft caramel chew for garnish

🍯 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rim:
   Dip the rims of shot glasses in caramel syrup, then into crushed butterscotch candies or toffee bits. Set aside.

2. Shake the Base:
   In a cocktail shaker, combine vanilla vodka, butterscotch liqueur, caramel sauce, and Irish cream (if using). Add ice and shake until chilled and frothy.

3. Pour & Garnish:
   Strain into prepared shot glasses. Top with a swirl of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.

4. Add the Pop:
   Garnish each with a mini caramel candy or place a soft caramel chew on the side of the glass.

🍦 Tips:

• For a salted caramel pop, add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the whipped cream.

• Want a toasted twist? Lightly brûlée the caramel rim with a kitchen torch for a crunchy edge.

• Serve warm for a cozy winter treat — just heat the mixture gently before pouring (skip the ice).
