Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot Ingredients

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot raw ingredients that are labeled

This rich, velvety shot is filled with a sinfully sweet concoction that’ll transport your taste buds right into a childhood morning.

The blend of RumChata liqueur, cinnamon whisky, and fluffy whipped cream creates an explosion of tastes reminiscent of the beloved cereal.

You’ll need:

2 ounces of RumChata liquor
2 ounces of Fireball cinnamon whisky
Spray can of whipped cream
Cinnamon toast crunch cereal
Cinnamon sugar, for the rim

PRO TIP:

RumChata is a creamy liqueur with cream, sugar, rum, cinnamon, and vanilla flavors. It is similar to Irish cream but with a cinnamon flavor. The flavor in this shot can be likened to the milk left in the cereal bowl after eating cinnamon toast crunch.

Substitutions And Additions

VANILLA: Add a vanilla twist to this delicious shot with a dash of vanilla vodka or vanilla extract.

CINNAMON WHISKY: Any brand of cinnamon whisky, including Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire or Jim Beam Kentucky Fire Whiskey, would work in this RumChata cinnamon toast crunch shot recipe.

RUMCHATA: While RumChata adds creaminess and a hint of vanilla to the shot, you can try other cream liqueurs like Baileys, Kahlúa, or even an almond milk cream liqueur for a unique twist.

How To Make This Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot Recipe

This tasty shot comes together quickly by combining the liqueur in a cocktail shaker and pouring it into a shot glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar. Top with whipped cream and crushed cereal, and you’re all set to serve it.

Follow our step-by-step instructions below.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

This recipe makes two shots. If you need more, you can easily double the recipe.

STEP ONE: Use a clean, damp paper towel to moisten the rim of two shot glasses.

Place the cinnamon sugar in a shallow dish and dip the rim of the shot glass into the cinnamon sugar mixture.

STEP TWO: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

STEP THREE: Add two ounces of RumChata and two ounces of Fireball whisky to the cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously.

STEP FOUR: Divide the mixture between the two shot glasses.

STEP FIVE: Top with a squirt of whipped cream and a piece of cinnamon toast crunch cereal.

PRO TIP:

The whipped cream makes it a little more difficult to drink the shot in one swoop, but the creaminess does cut some of the spiciness from the whisky.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I make this dessert shot ahead of time and keep it in a container in the fridge?

We don’t recommend storing this creamy drink in the fridge. Shake it up right when you are ready to drink it.

Can I use whipped topping instead of a squirt whipped cream?

If you don’t have a squirt whipped cream on hand, whipped topping will work just fine for these tasty shots.

How can I get the cinnamon sugar to stick to the rim of the glass?

Coating the shot glass rim with water or a bit of clear corn syrup works best to help the sugar to stick to the rim of the glass.
