Salted Nut Roll Shot Recipe
Ever found yourself reminiscing about those nostalgic trips to the candy store, only to remember you’re an adult with a refined palate for something a bit more… spirited? Enter the salted nut roll shot, a delightful concoction that bridges the gap between sweet childhood treats and your more mature liquor cabinet preferences.
Ingredients
- Vanilla-flavored liqueur: The sweet creamy base that mimics the nougat center of a salted nut roll.
- Butterscotch schnapps: Adds a rich buttery sweetness that complements the vanilla beautifully.
- Heavy cream: For that luxurious silky texture that makes each sip a delight.
- Salted nuts preferably peanuts: The key element that gives this shot its name and its distinctive salty kick.
Instructions
- Chill Your Glasses: Begin by placing your shot glasses in the freezer. A chilled glass ensures that your salted nut roll shot stays cool and refreshing from the first sip to the last.
- Mix Your Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 ounce of vanilla-flavored liqueur, 1 ounce of butterscotch schnapps, and 1 ounce of heavy cream. This trio of ingredients is what gives the salted nut roll shot its signature flavor profile.
- Shake It Up: Add a generous amount of ice to your shaker. Seal it tightly, then shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This not only chills the mixture but also ensures that the heavy cream is fully integrated, giving the shot a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Garnish and Serve: Take your chilled glasses out of the freezer. Strain the mixture into the glasses, filling them to the brim. Finally, top each shot with a sprinkle of crushed salted nuts, adding that essential salty crunch that perfectly contrasts the sweetness of the liqueur and schnapps.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and watch as your guests marvel at the delicious complexity of your salted nut roll shot.
