This recipe is easy on your tastebuds and is sure to impress your guests! It is sweet, making it perfect for happy hour, after dinner, or with appetizers. We especially love this recipe around the holidays. It is great for Christmas parties, and you can even make a full pitcher of these and serve them over ice.

For other boozy “sweet treats” try this Baileys Martini and Mudslide.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot Ingredients

The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot recipe is made with only two ingredients, and equal parts each!

  • Fireball: This cinnamon whiskey is extremely popular for a reason, it’s delicious. It is great on it’s own, in this shot, or mixed with root beer. Trust us.
  • RumChata: This is a creamy liqueur that is cinnamon based. It is amazing in this and so many other things. If you want to get really adventurous, you could make this RumChata Fudge!

Multiply the recipe as needed depending on how many shots you are serving (don’t forget one for yourself!) Since RumChata contains cream, it’s best kept in the fridge and served chilled.

    I make a variation of this which adds vanilla vodka to the rumchata and cinnamon whiskey. it’s a great winter comfort drink.
