Description

🎃 Pumpkin Screamer Shots 🎃
Velvety spiced pumpkin meets rich butterscotch foam—sweet, spicy, and just spooky enough to scream for more.


🧪 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots):

Pumpkin Spice Base:

  • 1/4 cup pumpkin purée (unsweetened)

  • 2 oz vanilla vodka (or cinnamon whiskey for extra heat)

  • 1 oz Irish cream liqueur (or pumpkin spice liqueur)

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar syrup

  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • Splash of half-and-half or cream (for smooth texture)

Butterscotch Foam:

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (cold)

  • 1 tbsp butterscotch syrup or schnapps

  • 1 tsp powdered sugar

  • Optional: pinch of salt or cinnamon

Garnish (Optional):

  • Crushed graham crackers or cinnamon sugar (for rim)

  • Sprinkle of nutmeg or edible gold dust


🎃 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Shot Glasses:

    • Rim each glass with crushed graham crackers or cinnamon sugar (rub with maple syrup or lemon wedge first).

    • Chill glasses in the freezer for a clean pour and cream layering.

  2. Make the Pumpkin Base:

    • In a shaker with ice, mix pumpkin purée, vodka, Irish cream, syrup, spices, and a splash of cream.

    • Shake well until smooth and chilled.

    • Strain (or fine strain) into shot glasses, filling 3/4 full.

  3. Whip the Butterscotch Foam:

    • In a small bowl or shaker, whisk heavy cream with butterscotch syrup and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

    • Spoon or pipe a dollop of the foam gently on top of each shot.

  4. Finish:

    • Sprinkle with a dash of nutmeg, cinnamon, or gold shimmer dust.

    • Serve immediately with a mini spoon or sip-and-savor style.
