Santa Panties are a fun and festive shot that’s sure to bring some holiday cheer to your gatherings. I love starting with grenadine as the base, then gently layering RumChata on top.

Eggnog Jell-O Shots
Indulging in Eggnog Jell-O Shots is a delightful way to elevate your holiday celebrations. To make them, warm 1 cup of eggnog, then sprinkle in 1-2 packets of gelatin. Stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cup of your favorite alcohol, pour into molds, and refrigerate for 2-4 hours. Add RumChata and brandy for an extra layer of flavor that complements the eggnog. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving. Enjoy the festive fun!
Cranberry Jell-O Shots
Cranberry Jell-O Shots are often a hit at holiday gatherings, adding a festive twist to traditional party fare. To make them, I boil cranberry juice, dissolve Jell-O, then whisk in vodka. If I want a firmer texture, I add unflavored gelatin. After pouring into shot glasses, I refrigerate for 3-6 hours. Sugared cranberries make a delightful garnish! Enjoy responsibly!
Tiramisu Shots
While many people enjoy traditional tiramisu, I’ve discovered that Tiramisu Shots offer a fun and festive way to savor this beloved dessert at holiday gatherings. Soak ladyfingers in coffee and coffee liqueur, then layer them with a creamy mascarpone mixture. Tiramisu translates to “lift me up” in Italian, making it a perfect way to elevate your holiday spirit. Chill them in shot glasses, dust with cocoa powder, and garnish with whipped cream for a delightful treat everyone will love!
Peppermint Bark Shots
Peppermint Bark Shots bring a festive twist to your holiday celebrations, combining the rich flavors of chocolate and peppermint in a delightful, shot-sized treat. I love making the brownie-based version layered with peppermint bark yogurt and topped with crushed candies. These shots are 160 calories per serving, making them a fun yet indulgent option for holiday gatherings. For a quick option, the RumChata shot is a must-try. These shots are perfect for holiday gatherings, adding cheer to any occasion!
Apple Pie Bourbon Shots
As the holiday season approaches, I can’t help but think of cozy gatherings and the delightful flavors of homemade treats. One of my favorites is Apple Pie Bourbon Shots. I mix bourbon, chopped apples, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon sticks in a mason jar, letting it infuse for a few days. The refrigeration for 3-4 days allows the flavors to meld beautifully. After straining, I serve it chilled with a cinnamon stick garnish. Cheers!
Grinch Shot
During the festive season, the Grinch Shot is a delightful way to bring some fun and whimsy to your holiday celebrations. This vibrant green shot combines Midori liqueur and coconut rum, garnished with a maraschino cherry for a pop of red. Prep time’s only three minutes, making it perfect for any Christmas gathering. Festive adult beverage chill the ingredients for the best taste and enjoy!
Gingerbread Shot
When the holiday season rolls around, I love whipping up a batch of Gingerbread Shots to get everyone in the festive spirit. I combine Gingerbread Whiskey and RumChata for a quick mix. For an extra kick, I shake gingerbread simple syrup with vanilla vodka and half-and-half. A cozy cocktail adds a delightful touch. These shots are always a hit at my gatherings!
