-
1 oz butterscotch schnapps (like DeKuyper Buttershots)
-
1 oz caramel vodka (or vanilla vodka + caramel syrup)
-
1/2 oz Irish cream liqueur (for depth and smoothness)
-
1/2 oz half-and-half or heavy cream (for creaminess)
Toppings & Garnish:

Whipped cream
-
Caramel drizzle

Crushed toffee bits or butterscotch chips

🌀 Instructions:
-
Chill Your Shot Glasses
Pop your shot glasses into the freezer while you mix. This keeps the final pour ultra-smooth and frosty. -
Mix the Base
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the butterscotch schnapps, caramel vodka, Irish cream, and half-and-half. Shake until very cold and creamy. -
Pour and Swirl
Drizzle caramel syrup inside the shot glass before pouring if desired — it creates a swirling golden effect. Then strain the creamy mix into each shot glass. -
Top It Off
Add a generous swirl of whipped cream, then drizzle caramel on top and finish with crushed toffee bits or butterscotch chips. For extra indulgence, add a pinch of flaky sea salt for a salted toffee twist.
