Normally you wouldn’t think of coffee and orange juice going together, but coffee-flavored liqueur and orange juice make quite the delicious duo in this recipe combining to taste like the classic tootsie roll candy. With a fairly low alcohol content compared to other shots, you can confidently take a tootsie roll shot (or two) without feeling too terrible in the morning.

What is a Tootsie Roll Shot Made of

A Tootsie Roll Shot is made of only two simple ingredients: coffee-liqueur, like Kahlua, and orange juice. There are different variations on the Tootsie Roll Shot recipe, but we think this simple version is best. To make the shot more potent, you could also add vodka to the mix or replace the orange juice with an orange liqueur like Triple Sec.

      We haven’t tested that, I am not sure it will give the same taste as this. It’s a small amount of ingredients to try so doesn’t hurt to try! Good luck!
