Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
• 4 oz. Fireball whisky (chilled)
• 4 oz. RumChata (chilled)
• Karo light corn syrup (for rimming)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Prepare your shot glasses by pouring a shallow layer of corn syrup onto a saucer. On a separate saucer, mix together the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar.
2. Step 2: Dip the rim of each shot glass first into the corn syrup, then gently press into the cinnamon sugar mixture to create a flavorful rim.
3. Step 3: Pour 1 oz. of chilled Fireball whisky and 1 oz. of chilled RumChata into each coated shot glass. Adjust the amounts if using shot glasses of different sizes to maintain the balance.
4. Step 4: Serve immediately and enjoy your Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shots!

Tips & Variations

• For a spicier kick, increase the amount of Fireball whisky slightly or add a pinch of cayenne to the cinnamon sugar mix.
• Swap RumChata for cream or vanilla vodka for a different creamy flavor.
• Chill your shot glasses in the freezer beforehand for an extra refreshing experience.

Storage

These shots are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftover Fireball or RumChata, store them in the refrigerator according to the bottle instructions. Prepared shots should not be stored as the cinnamon sugar rim will lose its texture and flavor. Reheat neither needed nor recommended.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these shots non-alcoholic?

Yes! Substitute Fireball whisky with cinnamon syrup or apple cider, and use a milk or cream-based alternative instead of RumChata to mimic the creamy and spicy flavors.

What type of shot glasses should I use?

Standard 2 oz. shot glasses work well for this recipe. If your shot glasses are smaller or larger, adjust the amounts of Fireball and RumChata proportionally to maintain the right flavor balance.
