The “beer” in this shot is only in the presentation, as there is no actual beer in this recipe. This sweet liqueur and heavy cream shooter tastes like a vanilla milkshake with a boozy boost.

What’s in a Mini Beer Shot

Just two ingredients float on top of each other for this adorable shot recipe.

  • Licor 43: A sweet Spanish liqueur that creates the golden “beer” look in this shot recipe.
  • Heavy cream: This floats on top to create the “foam head” of the beer shot.

What is Licor 43?

Licor 43 is a mid-level liqueur made in Spain. It is made with 43 natural ingredients (hence the name) and has flavors of vanilla, orange peel, and cinnamon. Its sweet flavor is delicious in coffee and cocktails, like combined with heavy cream in this shot recipe.

Tips and Tricks

  • Use chilled Licor 43 for the best flavor.
  • Using a small bar spoon to float the heavy cream on top of the shot will help reduce spilling.

What Does Licor 43 Taste Like

Licor 43 has citrus, sweet, and floral flavors in it. There are also notes of vanilla in this liqueur, which gives this shot the boozy vanilla milkshake flavor. Since this liqueur is so sweet, a little goes a long way and one or two shots will probably be enough for you to get your fix.
