Snickers Shot

A layered shot that tastes like Snickers! Three liquors come together to recreate the flavors of the classic candy bar.

If you’re a fan of dessert cocktails and shooters, you’re going to want to try this ASAP!

It’s a layered shot that has all the flavors of a Snicker’s candy bar – chocolate, nuts and creamy nougat. When it doesn’t taste exactly like the famous candy bar, it certainly makes you think of it.

It is perfect to accompany a dessert or as a last drink. I like to serve it at Halloween parties, with caramel apple shots.

If you’re looking for more candy and dessert type shots, I recommend trying this layered neapolitan shot or these simple tootsie roll shots.

Ingredients

• whiskey cream – The Irish cream brings the creaminess of the nougat to this shot.
• Frangelico– This hazelnut liqueur replicates the nutty flavor of a snickers bar.
• Double – Kahlua’s chocolate notes really pop in this shot.

How to do

1. Fill a shot glass 1/3 full with Kahlua.
2. Slowly pour the hazelnut liqueur over the back of a bar spoon to layer it.
3. Layer the Bailey’s by repeating step 2.

Variants

The most common variation I see with the Snickers shot is to replace the hazelnut liquor with the Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey. Considering the candy bar is filled with peanuts, I think it’s a great sub.

Tips

1. Dip the rim of your shot glass in chocolate sauce and crushed peanuts for a flavorful rim.
2. If you don’t want to layer the shot, you can simply combine all the ingredients in a shaker.
