These little green shooters have all the creamy, vanilla mint flavors of the beloved Shamrock Shake. They’ll have you feeling festive and, let’s be honest, a little tipsy in no time.
It’s time to get your team together, put on your most ridiculous St. Patrick’s Day outfit and get the party started!
Ingredients
- Vodka – You can use any type of vodka, but I highly recommend using vanilla or whipped cream if possible.
- Mint cream – This liqueur will bring both the green color and the mint flavor that our shot needs.
- Heavy cream – You can substitute half and half if that’s what you have on hand.
Advice
- Chill your shot glasses. Place your verrines in the freezer at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help keep the shots cold and enhance their flavor.
- Decorate your way. Don’t be afraid to get creative with the garnish. You can use whipped cream, cherries, sprinkles, fresh mint, or even crushed chocolate mints.
- Add a touch of chocolate. Want to add chocolate flavor? Pour chocolate sauce around the inside of the shot glass or add a few dashes of chocolate bitters.
